'The servant who did this dirty work. He is a 70 year old man. Can't even walk properly. We trusted him so much that we couldn't even think wrong about him, but he killed the trust. Ruined my daughter's life. I only considered the age of the accused. Otherwise I would have killed him inside the ashram.
This is the pain of the father of a 13-year-old girl who was raped inside the Radha Swami Satsang Beas Ashram in Bulandshahr. During the medical examination, the girl was found to be 4 months pregnant. Currently, the police have put the accused Mohanlal Rajput in jail.
Police have locked the ashram after two girls were raped. No one will enter inside the ashram until the investigation is over. The followers used to gather in the ashram only once a week. He used to stay silent for 6 days. The servant took advantage of this and continued to perpetrate such heinous acts.
Bhaskar Reached ground zero and understood the whole incident. Had separate conversations with the victim's family, the accused servant and the police. Read the full ground report…
The police sealed the ashram. Entry prohibited.
The Bhaskar team reached the ashram first. There are two rooms on the right as you enter. Food is kept in one. There is also a bed. Both the students were raped on this bed.
Adjacent to this room is a large tin shed, under which Satsang is held once a week. In front of the tinshed is a large meadow. The ashram is surrounded by a 7 feet high wall.
Now read the words of the victim's family…
The police took the accused Mohanlal to the police station. He confessed to the charges during police interrogation.
The father said – Incidents have happened in the ashram before, now it must remain closed Now we reached the victim's house. The girl's parents were found at home. The father said off camera that the girl did not say anything to us at first. We got suspicious when her belly started growing. We showed it to the doctors. He advised an immediate ultrasound. When I got the ultrasound I was shocked to see the report. She was four months pregnant. When we came home and asked, the girl told us the whole story.
The father said, this dirty work servant is so old that he cannot even walk properly. Looking at his age, no one would believe that he could do such dirty work. I can't even get my daughter married because she is only 13 years old.
Father said – I want this ashram to be closed now. Such incidents have happened here many times before, but no one has complained. Once a servant did wrong with a dog. As this news spread in the village, that servant had to leave the village. We are not going to sit still. Whatever happens, we will bring the accused to justice.
The mother of the victim said – another girl from the village is involved in this case. She met with a servant. The police should investigate it.
Mother said- Another girl was involved, she used to take him to the old servant The mother of the struggling student agreed to speak to us on camera. He said – Our daughter used to go for a walk every evening on the road, but for the last few days it was not like that. She remained silent. She didn't even say anything to anyone. A few days ago he complained of stomach pain. Slowly his stomach began to grow. Whenever we asked her anything, she was evasive. We got to know the whole thing through ultrasound.
The victim's mother said – another girl from the village is involved in this whole matter. It was he who took these two girls to that servant. We suspect that he is in contact with the servant. When two of our families lodged an FIR, we asked the third girl's family to take action too, but they refused.
Uncle said- offered us money to settle The victim's uncle said – We came to know about this incident on the evening of October 22. After this village panchayats were started in favor of servants. Pradhan forced us to compromise. He also said that take some money, then we will get this girl married.
We reached the police station at 10 am on October 23. A complaint was filed against the accused serviceman, but the police did not register a case due to pressure. Late in the evening we called the Lucknow control room of 1076 and told them the whole thing. He assured us that action would be taken within an hour. After this we received the copy of the FIR on October 23 around 10 pm.
The police put the accused in jail.
All underground including the caretaker family The caretaker of this ashram is also a person from the village. We reached his house to know his side. The lock of the house was found broken. It turns out that the caretaker has suddenly left somewhere with his wife. No one knows where he has gone. It is believed to have gone underground.
Now read the FIR copy…
'He would take me to the bed after passing out, do the dirty work' There is a Radhaswami Satsang Bhawan in the village. Our house is at a distance. Mohanlal of the village lives in the Satsang Bhavan to take care of her. Children of the village often play outside the Satsang Bhavan. My niece also used to play there. Mohanlal often called my niece inside on the pretext of teaching her to ride a bicycle.
He used to give him a bicycle to learn. He used to give biscuits, sweets, chocolates, jalebis and also 10-20 rupees. He used to mix something in the food and drinks, which made my niece faint. After this he would take his niece to the cot inside the room.
About 4-5 months old. Mohanlal called my niece and gave her some pills to eat. The niece refused to eat, but was force-fed. When the niece started feeling dizzy, Mohanlal made her lie down on the cot inside. Done wrong with him many times. When the niece asked to tell this at home, the accused threatened to kill the entire family.
He did not say this because of fear. Since then my niece was lethargic and lost. Now her belly started to look big. When we asked, he told us everything while crying. We did her ultrasound and she was found to be 4 months pregnant.
Note: In this matter, the families of the two victim girls have filed an FIR. The incidents in both the FIRs are almost identical.
