Did not come even on father’s death

His brother Bunty says that he did not come home even after father’s death and neither did he have any feelings towards the family. Told that all three of us brothers including Sukhbir, Bhim Singh work as laborers. Mahant Ramgiri Baba, who lives at the village temple, said that Kaushal Giri Baba had last come in June 2024. He stayed at the temple overnight.

Visited the temple many times
