Many devotees of Kaleshwar Baba have been shell-shocked over his sudden death at a Bangaluru hospital on Thursday. While the doctors said that the 38-year-old Baba died of liver and kidney-related disease, which led to failure of vital organs of the body, the devotees are not able to digest the fact.
While insiders say that the Baba has been suffering from the liver ailment for almost two years now, the devotees have no clue of his life-threatening disease.
Meanwhile, some reports said that Baba had huge amounts of money paid for insurance on his life in various companies including HDFC. The policies in various companies could be in the range of Rs 20 cr to Rs 30 cr, local media reports in Penukonda said.
The body of Kaleshwar Baba was brought to his 5-acre sprawling Penukonda ashram for devotees to have last darshan. The last rituals will be carried out on Monday.
