A joint team of Bhubaneswar Development Authority (BDA), Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation and Police Commissionerate will demolish the Ashram at 8: 00 AM on Friday, they added saying that the Ashram has been built on 0.140 acre of government land.

A video of the boy being worshiped with Tulsi and flower at his feet was found in social media. After this, a group of youths entered the Ashram and protested. To their astonishment, they also found costly vehicles in the Ashram.
Last week, a voluntary organisation lodged a complaint against the head of the ashram at Bharatpur police station for allegedly hurting religious sentiments of millions of people.
