-

Rape accused and selfstyled godman Daati Maharaj was called for questionin­g for the second time by the Delhi police crime branch on Friday.

According to sources, the man broke down and started crying during the interrogat­ion. However, the police has confirmed that crime branch may sent him for potency test, which can appear as a big evidence in the rape case.

Daati Maharaj reached the crime branch office on Friday at around 10 am. The inquiry lasted for over six hours. According to sources, Daati Maharaj could not handle his emotions during questionin­g and broke down. He cried infront of crime branch officers.

After questionin­g, a police team went to his Pali Ashram in Rajasthan, where the investigat­ion is going on.

Apart from this, the Rajasthan State Commission for Women on Friday wrote to the collector of Pali district to carry out an investigat­ion in the ashram, where the commission­ed team has found several irregulari­ties.

The commission has also asked the Pali Superinten­dent of Police to ensure safety and security of girls residing in the ashram of the selfstyled godman.

A team comprising two members and a judicial officer visited the ashram on Thursday and found several irregulari­ties, Chairperso­n of the State Commission for Women Suman Sharma said.
