Dhirendra Shastri Brother Bageshwar Dham’s prominent head priest, Dhirendra Krishna Shastri, has explicitly distanced himself from his younger brother, Shaligram Garg, who faces severe criminal charges following a violent altercation in Madhya Pradesh’s Chhatarpur district. The incident, which took place in Koda village under the jurisdiction of the Rajnagar Police Station, involved a contentious land dispute that quickly escalated into physical violence and gunfire. As public outrage mounted over the involvement of the highprofile spiritual leader’s sibling, Shastri issued a definitive statement asserting that he has no operational or personal ties with his estranged brother, demanding that law enforcement agencies act strictly against anyone found guilty of breaking the law.
