Claiming to sell preservation to unsuspecting followers, controversial godman Rampal to expand his evil empire fooled people by telling them that he would send them to heaven, said Superintendent of Police, Hisar, Satender Kumar Gupta.
His trusted followers worked like an agents and spread out to find and fleece people by peddling miracles, spiritual powers and cures. Unlike a ponzi operation, however, Rampal did not pay any commission to his “agents”.
Every follower was required to bring in at least three members or a family. The followers used to catch poor and the illiterate people and sold them the idea that Baba possessed miraculous healing powers and could rid them of any ailment or problem,” says a follower.
Police investigation revealed, Rampal had promised free elevation to higher grades during the police raid if his followers guarded his Satlok Ashram.
Police seized Rs 3.5 lakh from Satlok Ashram besides 90 kgs weighing coins valued at around Rs 2 lakh. Rampal has also paid Rs. 50 lakhs to the land owner for buying the land.
There is more trouble fermenting for self-styled godman Sant Rampal as a Retired school teacher Basant Das Nagle lodge a complaint with Haryana’s Barwala Police Station after his wife, Dwarka, went missing during her visit to Satlok Ashram in February 2014.
However with his arrest, the under-construction work in his sprawling ashram has come to an end. It is spread over an area of 70 acres in Urdan village situated along the National Highway 69. MP Police said they will extend all information about Rampal.
