The incident of rape with a woman Sadhvi in the famous Gurukul Shantidham, which was operated in Kaushambi police station area of Ghaziabad, adjacent to the national capital Delhi, has created a sensation in the district. This incident has not only destroyed the life of the victim, but has also disturbed the peace of the area.
The revelation and allegation of the incident
According to the police, 60 -year -old Divya Yoga Maya Saraswati, the director of the ashram, and her assistant Shabnam, the victim Sadhvi was given to the first cold drink mixed with drugs. When Sadhvi fainted, she was handed over to the third accused Gokul for rape. The victim said that when she came to her senses, she opposed the incident, but the three accused brutally assaulted her and also tried to blackmail her by threatening to make her pornographic video viral on social media.
Arrest and investigation of the accused
As soon as the incident was reported, the police took immediate action and arrested the ashram operator Divya Yoga Maya Saraswati and his assistant Shabnam. The third accused Gokul is still absconding and the police are constantly raiding to catch him. DCP Trans Hindon of Ghaziabad Police Commissionerate, Nimish Patil said that the search for Gokul has been intensified and the police is eyeing every possible hideout.
The police have registered an FIR on the complaint of the victim and started a thorough investigation into the case. In interrogation of the ashram operator and her assistant, she has also accepted the incident. At present, the police is working hard to bring the accused to the dock of justice.
Ashram and social concerns
This Gurukul is known for Shantidham Yoga and a restrained life operating in Kaushambi region of Ghaziabad. A large number of people come here for peace and yoga practice. But such a criminal incident has shook faith in people’s minds.
Local people have heavy concern and resentment about this incident. They are questioning that when the security system is weak only in such places, will the general public come here and get peace and restrained life? This case also puts a question mark on the credibility of yoga and spiritual life operated in ashrams.
Police message and further action
The police have appealed to the people to immediately inform the concerned authorities about such incidents. Also, instead of hiding any such kind of irregularity or criminal activity in the ashrams, the culprits can be handed over to the law as soon as possible.
The Ghaziabad police is investigating the entire case seriously and soon the absconding accused Gokul has also taken a pledge to complete the judicial process. Necessary steps are also being taken to protect the victim and her rehabilitation.
This incident reminds us that any place – whether it is a spiritual place or any other part of society – the system of security and justice is the most important. Everyone will have to strive together to stop such crimes and provide justice to the victims.
