Jailbird mahant in pursuit of spirituality in Almora
September 08, 2024
|The New Indian Express
CRIME wears a veneer of mass acceptance when it is combined with elements of spirituality.

Take PP (moniker for Prakash Pandey), currently serving life sentence in Almora jail for multiple crimes, including killing senior Delhi Police officer ACP Rajbir Singh in 2008.
He was recently anointed a saint within the four walls of prison by the management of the Shri Panchdashnam Juna Akhara based in Haridwar. PP (52) now has a new name-Prakashanand Giri.
The akhara is a prominent sect within the Kumbh Mela.
