Shankaracharya Adhokshajanand Deo Tirth on Tuesday urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to order a probe by a sitting apex court judge into the Palgarh lynching case.
The seer sought an exemplary punishment so that such an incident does not take place in future.
In a letter to the prime minister, he said only a probe by a sitting Supreme Court judge will satisfy seers.
Three men, who were mistaken for thieves, were allegedly lynched on in Maharashtra's Palgarh recently.
Among the victims, two were sadhus.
