A division bench consisting of Justices Revati Mohite-Dere and Prithviraj Chavan was informed that all of the videos and links mentioned by the complainants in the 58 First Information Reports (FIRs) filed against Mahant Ramgiri Maharaj had been removed by the Police in accordance with the bench’s previous directive.

Nonetheless, the Sinnar Police’s investigating officer (IO), who virtually appeared in court, stated that there are still a number of these recordings or links to the offensive comment on social media platforms. The officer gave the judges her word that any links or videos that the complainants pointed out would also be removed.

The IO further told the bench that Ramgiri Maharaj, the accused in the case, had been served with a notice and had promised the police that he would assist with the investigation as needed.

However, the bench expressed concern that those who are disseminating the offensive film on different websites and social media platforms may face consequences.

The judges said, “We expect Sinnar Police and also the cyber cell to file separate affidavits spelling out the steps taken to remove the objectionable material. The affidavit to also include the number of requests received to delete the videos in question and action taken on each such requisition.”

Who is Mahant Ramgiri Maharaj?

Mahant Ramgiri Maharaj who is in his early 50s relocated to the Ahmednagar area to enroll in an ITI’s diploma program after finishing Class 10. However, he abandoned his studies to receive diksha (blessing) from spiritual master Narayangiri Maharaj, a Gagangiri Maharaj disciple himself.

The seer’s clout comes from being the leader of the Sadguru Shri Gagangiri Maharaj Sansthan, located in Shrirampur in Ahmednagar district, which has a following among the warkaris, who do an annual pilgrimage to Pandharpur.

After this, according to some associates, he “wandered the Himalayas for several years.”
After his mentor Narayangiri passed away in 2009, Ramgiri Maharaj was given more authority as the head of the Sadguru Shri Gagangiri Maharaj Sansthan.

The promotion caused controversy because Ramgiri Maharaj’s senior colleagues ran for the coveted position. When the case went to court, Ramgiri Maharaj prevailed. He currently has 51 FIRs against him for hate speech.
