CCTV video of the final moments of Rasik Dulari Sharan, a disciple of Premanand Maharaj, has surfaced.

Forensic Analysis of Phone and Toxicology Awaited
SSP Shlok Kumar has said investigators are awaiting forensic analysis of the deceased’s mobile phone and the blood toxicology report before ruling out foul play. The inquiry is also examining why he inflicted a severe injury on his private parts before the fall.
A handheld tile cutter or grinder was subsequently retrieved from the disciple's living quarters, where bloodstains were documented by forensic specialists. Law enforcement teams have seized digital devices to reconstruct call logs, messaging activity, and potentially deleted files to ascertain if any external stress or disputes triggered the incident.
Mathura police have questioned fellow ashram inmates, roommates, and administrative personnel to map Sharan’s routine and interactions during his final days. Circle officers stated that while the primary visual evidence points toward self-harm, a conclusive determination on what drove the disciple to take such extreme steps will depend on technical and forensic laboratory findings.
