A purported suicide note was recovered from the site of the incident in which the name of the seer's disciples, Anand Giri, and two others were mentioned.
The case is being investigated by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
Anand Giri, Adya Prasad Tiwari and Sandeep Tiwari are already arrested in the case.
The Uttar Pradesh government had recommended a CBI probe into Mahant Giri's death following which the agency took over the investigation.
