The incident coincided the Punjab and Haryana High Court’s order directing the administration to cremate dead body of controversial godman and Noormehal based Divya Jyoti Jagriti Sansthan (DJJS) head Ashutosh’s dead body. Ashutosh had died on January 29, 2014 but his dead body is kept in freezer by dera management who claimed that Ashutosh was in meditation.
