The Delhi Police has registered a rape case against a Hindu godman Daati Maharaj in Fatehpur Beri on Sunday after one of his disciples alleged that she was raped by him and his associates two years ago, a senior police officer said on Monday. Later, the case transferred to District Investigation Unit.

Datti Maharaj Rape Case

Deputy Commissioner of Police (South) Romil Baaniya said the case was registered under sections 376 (rape), 377 (unnatural sex) and 354 (molestation) of the IPC, a few days after the 25-year-old woman filed a complaint against the founder of the Delhi-based Shree Shanidham Trust and his associates. Baaniya also added,

“The accused shall be questioned in connection with the case soon, and further investigation will proceed accordingly,”

The woman stated the role of two more male disciples in ashram who also raped her. The woman claimed that she was sexually abused in Daati Maharaj’s Delhi and Rajasthan ashram on many occasions.

In her complaint, she also named one woman disciple who forced her to visit Delhi godman’s room where she was repeatedly raped. She had once refused to visit Daati Maharaj’s room when the woman disciple told her that many disciples had done the same and there is no harm in it, the complaint read.
