Zeenews Bureau Chindwara, July 31: In a shocking incident, yet another 5-year-old student was found dead in the Ashram of Asaram Bapu in Chindwara, Madhya Pradesh. The child Vedant was found under mysterious circumstances in the bathroom with his head drowned in a bucket of water. He died while being taken to hospital. The incident is all the more shocking because barely a day ago one more four-and-half-year-old boy had been found dead on the premises of Asaram Bapu Ashram here, hardly a month after the mysterious death of two minor cousins in a school run by it in Ahmedabad. The body of Ram Krishna Yadav, a nursery student, was also discovered in the Ashram's toilet. School doctor Lokesh Sharma told reporters that Vedant had probably gone early to wash his hands and legs and in the process fell down. He said Vedant's head was in a bucket full of water leading to suspicion about the cause of the death. Vedant was found around 1815 hours in a bathroom next to the toilet from where Yadav's body was found, he said. Sharma expressed suspicion that an "evil spirit" (devil) has entered into the premises resulting in such incidents. This is the third incident of its kind in the Ashram- run school after the mysterious death of two minor cousins in Ahmedabad. Meanwhile, the father of the deceased Lal Krishna Malpande belonging to Haveli village in Pune district of Maharashtra has been informed of the incident. Additional District Magistrate (ADM) Chandrashekhar Neelkanth has ordred a magisterial probe into the incident. Meanwhile the police lathicharged on a group of protesters who were demanding the closure of the Ashram.
