Rishi Ajay Das, founder of Kinnar Akhada, expelled Mamta Kulkarni from the Akhada on Friday. He also expelled Mahamandaleshwar Laxmi Narayan Tripathi from the Kinnar Akhada for inducting Mamta Kulkarni, who is accused of treason, to the Akhada and designating her as Mahamandaleshwar without his knowledge. Laxmi Narayan had earlier said Kulkarni had been renamed as Shri Yamai Mamta Nandgiri.
