The Delhi High Court on Friday (July 22) sought reply from the Delhi Police on the plea filed by the victim seeking CBI probe against self-styled godman Daati Maharaj and others, who have been accused of sexual assault.

The victim has also sought arrest of all accused and sealing of the ashrams belonging to Daati Maharaj.

The next hearing of the matter is on August 30.

The incident came into the light after a case was registered against Daati Maharaj under sections 354/376/377/34 IPC in Fatehpur Beri Police Station on June 6.

It has been alleged by 25-year-old victim that she was raped by Daati Maharaj and his two associates two years ago at the godman’s ashram.
