Viral Video: What started as a heartfelt moment during a spiritual event turned into a horrifying murder plot, all over the land. A 45-year-old farmer and part-time teacher from Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh, named Indrakumar Tiwari, had no idea that sharing his struggles during a spiritual satsang would cost him his life. He attended a gathering hosted by Aniruddhacharya Maharaj, a well-known spiritual guru also known as "Pookie Baba" on the internet. During the session, Indrakumar opened up about how he had no life partner or family to take care of his 18-acre farmland. This emotional moment was recorded and later went viral online. The godman, famous for his quirky style, jokingly told him: “Become a sadhu and donate your land for the public good.”
Sahiba Bano Was Watching:
That viral video didn’t just gather likes; it caught the eye of a woman named Sahiba Bano, who allegedly saw it as a golden opportunity. According to the police, she quickly came up with a plan to take over Indrakumar’s land. She created a fake identity using a forged Aadhaar card and pretended to be a woman named Khushi Tiwari. Then she reached out to Indrakumar on social media and started talking to him romantically.

A Fake Wedding And Chilling Murder:
Convinced by her words, Indrakumar travelled all the way to Gorakhpur to meet her. There, she staged a temple wedding with the help of a few accomplices. Just hours after the fake marriage, she and her team killed Indrakumar and dumped his body in a drain in Kushinagar. According to SP Santosh Kumar, “Khushi Tiwari contacted Indrakumar and proposed marriage to him. He agreed to marry her. The woman then laid a trap along with her associates.”
The Real Plan Behind The Murder:
The investigation later revealed a shocking detail: Sahiba Bano had planned to use the wedding photos to claim his land by pretending to be his legal wife. The goal was to grab all 18 acres for herself. The case is still under investigation, and two of Sahiba Bano’s alleged accomplices are on the run.
