Asaram Bapu is one of India's most well-known spiritual gurus, but over the last couple of days he has been in the news for mysterious deaths of children at his spiritual centres.

After the bodies of two children from Asaram Bapu's centre in Ahmedabad were found in the bed of the Sabarmati river, close to the centre, another mystery death has been reported at a school run by him in neighbouring Madhya Pradesh.

A four year old nursery student was found unconscious by his fellow students and died on the way to hospital.The ashram says it's an accident but not everyone is believing that.

"Two children came running to us and informed that Ramkrishn Yadav has fainted in the bathroom , we went there and found him in unconscious state .We took him to a private hospital where he was declared brought dead. There are 370 students in my school," Lavkesh Sharma, doctor in the gurukul.

No case has been filed yet. The body has been sent for post-mortem and the police say the cause of the death will be known only after it.

Unlike the Ahmedabad deaths, this time around the parents of the boy who live in Bombay have refused to press charges against the ashram.

According to them it's fate and have reposed their full faith in their guru.

"We are investigating the case , real cause will be known only after post-mortem," said Vinod Srivastava, the police inspector.

Last week there were angry clashes between Asaram Bapu's followers and those pointing fingers at him. Angry crowds also attacked journalists reporting the incident. This latest incident only adds another twist to the tale.
