<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A body of a seer (sadhu) was found inside his ashram in Maharashtra&#8217;s Nanded late on Saturday night, ANI reported. The deceased sadhu has been identified as <strong>Balbrahmachari Shivacharya </strong>and his body was found at his ashram in Nanded’s Umri Taluka late last night. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Notably, the police also found another body, said to be of his accomplice Bhagwan Shinde from the spot.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Nanded police said a local villager and follower of the sadhu, identified as Sainath Langote, was behind the two murders and, prima facie, the motive seemed to be robbery. The accused has a case of murder and molestation registered against him in the past.</p>
