    Narendra Giri death: CBI takes over probe; constitutes six-member team
    Akhil Bharatiya Akhara Parishad President Narendra Giri was found hanging at his Prayagraj residence Monday.

    The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Friday took over the investigation into the death of top seer Mahant Narendra Giri. The development comes after Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath recommended a CBI probe into the alleged suicide of the revered seer. Giri, the President of Akhil Bharatiya Akhara Parishad, was found dead at his Prayagraj ashram on Monday. Here are more details.
