I have been framed by 3 ex- aides: Daati Maharaj
New Delhi, June 23: Selfstyled godman Daati Maharaj, accused of raping a disciple in his ashrams here and Rajasthan, has accused three persons of conspiring against him, following which the trio have been summoned by the police, an official said.
He was questioned on Friday by the police for over eight hours in connection with the case.
The godman claimed that three persons, who were earlier associated with the ashram, had “framed him” in the case.
The three persons have been called for questioning on Monday by the Crime Branch while the godman has been again called for questioning on Tuesday, the official said, adding that police might get a potency test conducted on the godman.
Earlier this week, Daati Maharaj’s brother, a coaccused in the case, was also questioned.
The self- styled godman was questioned by the police for over seven hours on Tuesday. His younger brother was also named by the victim in her police complaint.
Last Saturday, a Delhi Police team, accompanied by the rape victim, had visited the self- godman’s ashram in Pali, Rajasthan, to gather evidence, but they failed to find him at the ashram.
The woman had filed the complaint against Daati Maharaj, his three brothers and a woman at the Fatehpur Beri police station here in south Delhi this month.
