Art and Culture Minister Govind Gawade told PTI that he had ordered the inquiry after a section of the media reported that a purification ritual was carried out by some persons on the academy premises where Parrikar’s mortal remains was kept on Monday before final rites.
“I have taken a strong note of these activities…. We cannot promote or patronise unscientific activities in government buildings,” Gawade said.
Parrikar, 63, died on Sunday after battling a pancreatic ailment for a year.
