After the news of Bhagat’s announcement went viral on social media, Mithi SSP Hasan Sardar Niazi took notice and reached his house and stopped him from taking Samandhi by ending his ‘barat’ (fasting).

Many citizens along with the SSP also reached Bhagat’s house and told him to come out of Samandhi, society needs him as he is appointed in Hindu religious ceremonies.

SSP Hasan while talking to the media after taking out Sadhu from Samandhi said that he has explained to Bhagat Khemchand, now he will not take any wrong step, the police will also help him in his treatment.
