Much stressed out, said Bhayyuji Maharaj's suicide note

Bhopal: Model-turned-godman Bhayyuji Maharaj, who had many veteran political leaders and Bollywood actors as his followers, on Tuesday allegedly shot himself dead in the study room of his daughter at his residence, ‘Silver Spring’, a famous address in Indore.

A pistol and a purported suicide note were recovered in the room where he allegedly committed suicide.

“Somebody should be there to handle duties of family. I am leaving, much stressed out, fed up,” the purported short suicide note read.

Sources said footage of a CCTV in the city where he was last seen in public on Monday afternoon has also been recovered. He reportedly appeared pensive during his meeting with a woman, who was yet to be identified.

The spiritual guru was seen sitting with a woman in a local restaurant for about an hour and both left the place in their cars separately.

“We have initiated steps to identify and locate the woman who was with him in the restaurant,” a senior police officer in Indore told this newspaper.
