98 kilograms of gold, 307 kg of silver and Rs 11.56 crore in cash were found inside Yajurveda Mandir, the private chambers of late spiritual Guru Sathya Sai Baba in Prashanti Nilayam here, which was opened yesterday.
This came to light today after the Sathya Sai Seva Trust members took an inventory of the things stored inside the Yajur Mandir in the presence of retired judge of Supreme Court A P Mishra and retired judge of Karnataka High Court Vaidyanatha.
An assessor approved by the Income Tax Department was also present to assist in evaluating the gold, jewellery and silver, according to Trust member and Sai Baba's nephew R J Ratnakar. "The cash found in the Yajur Mandir has been deposited in the account of the Trust in State Bank of India, Prasanthi Nilayam," Ratnakar told reporters here.
Yajurveda Mandir or Yajur Mandir, the personal chamber of Sai Baba where he lived, had remained closed ever since the Sai Baba was hospitalised on March 28. He died on April 24 following multi-organ failure.
