‘Falahari Baba’ held over rape charges in India

The famed "Falahari Baba" of Rajasthan in India has been arrested after he was charged with raping a 21-year-old woman at his ashram in Alwar.

Police arrested Kaushlendra Prapannacharya Falahari Maharaj, 70, this afternoon following three days of investigation after allegations of sexual assault against him, reports NDTV.

Facing rape charges, the self-styled “Godman”, dubbed for his fruits-only diet, got admitted to a private hospital in Alwar earlier this week saying he was suffering from high blood pressure.

However, police today got a medical examination conducted on him at a government-run hospital in Alwar and later arrested him after his ECG, blood pressure and sugar level were found to be normal, NDTV reports quoting Paras Jain, additional superintendent of police in Alwar.

Earlier, on August 7, the “Falahari Baba” allegedly raped the woman at his lavish ashram in Alwar and warned her against telling anyone.
