Paying obeisance to and prostrating before controversial self-styled godwoman Radhe Maa, who was recently dubbed as a ‘fake’ sadhvi by a national body of seers, has proved costly for personnel of the Delhi police.
As visuals showing the godwoman Radhe Maa sitting on the Station House Officer’s (SHO) chair at Delhi’s Vivek Vihar police station and also swaying with policemen during a Ram Lila function in the national capital went viral on social media on Thursday, a red-faced Delhi police ordered an inquiry into the incidents.
Sanjay Sharma, the SHO on whose chair Radhe Maa was seen sitting, has been transferred along with five other policemen seen capitulating before he godwoman in the video to the district lines, said police sources. A photograph purportedly taken at the Vivek Vihar police station showed Sharma, draped in a red and gold shawl worn by Hindu devotees, standing next to the godwoman with folded hands.
Soon after the photograph was picked up by various media outlets, a video that had been uploaded on Radhe Maa’s Facebook page also went viral. The video shows the godwoman attending a Ram Lila function at GTB Enclave where five local police personnel are seen singing patriotic songs as she sways to their tune.[/vc_column_text][vc_raw_html]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[/vc_raw_html][vc_column_text]News agency PTI said that the five policemen in the video are assistant sub-inspectors Braj Bhushan and Radhe Krishan, head constable Pramod and constables Hitesh and Ravinder. The news agency also quoted Joint Commissioner of Police, Eastern Range, Ravindra Yadav as saying: “An inquiry has been initiated against the SHO and five police personnel and they have been sent to district lines.”
An Additional Deputy Commissioner-rank officer has begun an inquiry into the matter.
Speaking on condition of anonymity, an official said that SHO Sanjay Sharma has told him superiors that Radhe Maa was on her way to attend the Ram Lila function in GTB Enclave when she had stopped at the police station to use its restroom.
Sukhwinder Kaur alias Radhe Maa, who has attracted eyeballs for her glitzy pictures on social media, is at the centre of several controversies.
Earlier this year, a Mumbai-based woman had approached the Bombay High Court, alleging that the godwoman instigated her in-laws to harass her for dowry. In 2015, a BJP MLA from Gujarat demanded a probe against Radhe Maa in connection with a case where seven members of a family had committed suicide.
