Pundit commits suicide over male friend.

April 25, 2003

Pundit Kalicharan Dass shot himself as worshipers gathered at a temple in Trinidad.

The pundit was apparently upset over people’s reaction to a close relation he had developed with a man. :)

One worshiper claimed that the pundit was not gay but sometimes acted like a woman and seemed to have a split personality. He said he believed the pundit’s strange behavior was because of ”the power” that he possessed. The alleged supernatural power is said to have come after a blessing from a holly man and allowed Dass to perform miracles.

It all started when the pundit allowed the man to stay in the temple and reportedly became very close to him. The man was then thrown out by the pundit’s wife after which the pundit started therapy to get over the loss of this close friend.

The incident was triggered by the return of the man to the temple and the reaction or the temple worshipers.
