Bhopal/Jodhpur: High voltage drama continued to revolve around the controversial self-styled godman Asaram Bapu, who reached Raja Bhoj airport here on Friday evening to leave for Delhi but returned to his ashram as he missed the flight. There was chaos and his supporters even entered into a scuffle with mediapersons at the airport.
Later on Friday evening, Asaram left for Indore by car. According to information received here, some journalists, who had gathered at the Dewas bypass road toll barrier spotted him trying to cover his face as his car sped past them.
On Friday morning, Asrama’s son Narain Sai had made it clear that his father would not be able to meet the deadline fixed by the Jodhpur police for questioning in a sexual abuse case by telling mediapersons that his father has fallen ill and would be staying here to receive “panchkarma” treatment under the ayurvedic system.
The Jodhpur police rejected his plea for extending the deadline for his appearance which ended today. Police said he is currently located in Bhopal.
"We have received a fax from bapu on Friday evening stating that on account of his ill-health and death of his relative, he was not able to come in stipulated time and sought more time for appearance before the police for investigation.
But we have decided not to give him any relief as we have no strong ground to believe, what he said in the fax", Jodhpur DCP Ajay Pal Lamba told reporters in the desert city.
Two days ago, on Wednesday, the Jodhpur police had served Asaram a summon marking Friday as the deadline to appear for questioning.
