Buddhist priest’s death triggers tension

Mumbai: Tension prevailed in the northern suburb of Deonar here on Sunday following the alleged suicide of a Buddhist priest.

Trouble started when the body of Sahraj Bheeru (75), priest of Sandesh Buddh Vihar was found hanging near the Vihar in the morning.

The police said prima facie it looked like a suicide, but people in the area alleged that it was murder.

An angry mob resorted to stone-pelting, damaging some government buses. The police resorted to a ‘mild’ lathicharge to disperse the crowd.

No arrests have been made. — PTI
