A "good question" is I think also the following report about this case: Dear Prabhus and Maharajs, Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. We have just received the following shocking report from senior devotees in Mayapur. 1) A few days before Gopasatami, a devotee by the name of Madhva Krishna Das,a disciple of H H Gopa Krishna Maharaja visited Sri Mayapur Dham. He ha come from the Delhi temple. 2) Before he arrived Dehli temple had informed Mayapur that he was coming and that he was actually a thief who should be apprehended. 3) Upon arrival he was immediately apprehended by Dayarama Das with the assistance of some brahmacharis. 4) He was then taken to room 205 in the Long Building where he was systematically beaten to a pulp by Dayarama and the other devotees. 5) Later he was transferred to room 207 where the beating continued. 6) Dayarama and the other devotees have alleged that as a result of the beatings, the devotee gave a confession letter, admitting to the stealing, and begging forgiveness for having stolen from Vaisnavas. 7) The next morning he was found hanging from the ceiling in room 207. 8) The story was given that the devotee had committed suicide due to the shame of having been apprehended as a thief, and his confession letter became therefore in fact a de facto suicide note. 9) The Police were called, paid the usual bribes, and the body was immediately burnt. 10) The incident has cause a big split in Mayapur with most of the western devotees horrified at what has happened. The above are the facts of the case, which are well known to anyone in Mayapur. However the following facts, which indicate that actually something very underhand has happened, are not generally well known: a) It seems very unlikely that a devotee who has just stolen from other devotees would immediately go and visit Mayapur, and that the authorities would know exactly what his movements were. This would seem strange behaviour from a thief trying to evade detection. Thus it seems that the 'thief' story is merely a cover for something else, and that somebody somewhere needed him removed from the scene. b) When he was found 'hanging' his feet were still on a chair. However everyone knows that in order for hanging to take place, the chair needs to actually be *kicked away*. c) There are *no chairs* in room 207 or in any other guest rooms in the Long Building. These two facts make it clear that the devotee was already dead, and that the hanging incident was then staged to make it appear as suicide - though in this case it was done very incompetently. d) The fact that no post-mortem was carried out, which would be standard in a situation such as this, indicates that defintely something suspicious happened here, and someone had something to hide. We expect an immediate detailed report on the above scenario. Otherwise please be warned, that we will make sure that the approproate authorities will not rest until they get to the bottom of this case. And there are plenty of devotees in Mayapur who are ready and willing to speak to the authorities. We had hoped that the days of murder and mayhem had long been left behind with the zonal acharya era. Obviously not. However these things will *not* be tolerated anymore. We demand justice for the death of Madhava Krishna Das. Ys, Adri PS : If the above are not facts, please let us know what are the facts to clear up the matter.
