Delhi court sends self-styled godman Chaitanyananda Saraswati to 14-day judicial custody

The Delhi Police had sought judicial custody for Chaitanyanand Saraswati and produced him before judicial magistrate Animesh Kumar at the Patiala House Courts on the completion of his five-day police custody. Saraswati’s counsel moved an application seeking the supply of the seizure memo and the case diaries, which was allowed by the court.

The court sought a response from the police on other applications related to seeking the wearing of monk robes, providing medicines and "sanyasi" food.

The 62-year-old self-styled godman was arrested in Agra last Sunday after being on the run. Police earlier took him to the campus for site identification and investigation.
