Swami Anand Mitranand. Does the name sound familiar ? Or for that matter Swami Amranand. Anybody recognises him ? While the name sounds like someone associated with the spiritual world, or one of those who wears a saffron robe and is ready to give sermons to the gullible, normally nobody would suspect that the names would be part of the network of saffron robed sadhus who have no qualms in storing explosives which could be used at ‘opportune’ time.
With the arrest of Swami Anand Mitranand, and the police searching for his other colleague, both working with a Gurukul run by Maharshi Dayanand Ashram, at village Bhadas, district Mewat, Haryana, it seems an important dimension of the way Hindutva fanatics operate has come to the fore.
