"The enquiry report will make everything clear but it will take some time. A final decision on Radhe Maa is likely to be taken only after the conclusion of the ongoing Maha Kumbh," secretary of the Akhara Mahant Prem Giri said in a statement.

'Radhe Maa' was anointed a 'Mahamandaleshwar' of Juna Akhara in August last year at Haridwar.

However, she was removed from the post within a few days following a number of allegations against her, including continuance of her ties with her family.

Giving a clean-chit to the seer, sources in the 11-member enquiry committee yesterday said that the charges against her "have not been found to be true."

However, Giri said that 'Mahamandaleshwar' Panchanan Giri, who had investigated the activities of the Punjab-based seer in that state, had submitted his report, but some reports were pending.

The controversial seer has over a lakh followers all over the country and the number was quite large in Mumbai, it added.
