A brief overview
Politicians from all political parties, including Narendra Modi, Raj Nath Singh, Amit Shah, Yogi Adityanath, Mohan Bhagawat, etc, meet the Shankaracharya of Puri and even take his blessings. Yet, the fake Shankaracharya is not arrested by them.
Svami Adhokshjananda Tirth was on excellent terms with Azam Khan, since he has been promoting the Svami as a Shankaracharya. The below quote is from a news report that wrongly presents the Svami as Puri Shankaracharya.

Harassment by politicians
Srimajjagadguru Shankaracharya Svami Sri Nischalananda Sarasvatiji Maharaj, The Shankaracharya of Puri, describes a horrific incident that occurred a few years ago at the Prayag Kumbha. The govt sent about 25 policemen with a home guard who started abusing the Shankaracharya at the entrance of the door and started announcing awards for bringing the Shankaracharya to him. This was done by Azam Khan when Uttar Pradesh was under the Mulayam Singh Govt.
When current P.M. Narendra Modi was the Chief Minister of Gujarat, a police officer of a high post (belonging to Odisha and knowing the actual Shankaracharya of Puri) had sought permission from him to arrest the fake Shankaracharya. However, C.M.Modi did not allow that. This has been shared by Jagadguru Shankaracharya of Puri, Himself (refer to series on Fake Shankaracharya).
The fake Shankaracharya has been given a lot of police protection and great comfort in the Kumbha at Ujjain. He has made his own “Govardhan Pīṭha” in Mathura (during the tenure of Adityanath Yogi as CM). He also has an ashram in Puri.
Dalai Lama meets the Fake Svami
The Dalai Lama too met Svami Adhokshjananda Tirth in the garb of the Shankaracharya of Puri. He stayed silent on the matter despite knowing the real Shankaracharya of Puri. One would wonder what the international response would be if imposters of the Dalai Lama or the Pope were to be honoured publicly.
