‘Kalki Avatar’: FIR lodged against father-son duo for ‘misleading and exploiting people’ in Bhubaneswar

A social organisation has filed FIR against one Kashinath Mishra and his son at Bharatpur police station in Bhubaneswar for allegedly misleading and exploiting people in the name of religion.

Projecting his son as ‘Kalki Bhagwan’, Kashinath Mishra has been allegedly instructing people to worship him. Moreover, he has been engaging in unethical practices, manipulating individuals’ religious beliefs and charging devotees different amounts based on various issues such as employment, family and health problems and pregnancy.

In their complaint, the social organisation has alleged that the father-son duo has disrespected religious symbols and tradition.

A picture of Holy Tusli kept near the feet of Kashinath’s son has gone viral on social media.

“I have heard the speeches where he (Kashinath) claimed that a plane had crashed in Haryana and three survived. I searched for news and found that there was no survivor in the incident. The pravachans are being held in Odisha and other parts of the country. Holy Tulsi is seen placed near the feet of Kashinath Mishra’s son which is unfortunate,” said an official of Rajya Samajsevi Mahasangha.

It has been learnt that Kashinath’s son is now 18-years-old and is studying. The images are old ones, claimed a senior official of Baikuntha Dham in Khandagiri area.

No comments could be obtained from Kashinath and his son.

Responding to the allegations, Pandav Parida, president of the Dham said, “No Tulasi is offered. We do not know about the incident as it is of some 15-years back. It is the work of demons to bring such allegations against God. Everything is written in ancient scriptures and it is becoming true. We are only preaching good things and no person consuming paan, liquor and others are not allowed here. All the allegations that are being levelled are baseless.”

Rationalist, Devendra Suttar said, “In the society, such instances are threat for religion as well. It is likely playing with the emotions of people as anyone is becoming the avatar of god and goddess. In this case, the child is said to be minor and he should be allowed to concentrate on his future. It is been found that such kids get detached from society.”
