Vrindavan: The case surrounding the suspicious death of Rasik Dulari Sharan, a disciple initiated by Sant Premanand Maharaj, had barely settled when reports of three other people associated with the ashram going missing emerged, raising fresh questions. Those reported missing include 17-year-old Anuj Chaudhary from Sadabad, Vansh, the 10-year-old son of a woman from Najafgarh in Delhi, and 38-year-old Vibha from Noida. Their families searched for them on their own, but after failing to find any leads, approached the police. Relatives of Anuj also staged a protest outside the ashram on Friday.
Anuj Chaudhary Missing from Vrindavan
The family of Anuj Chaudhary, a resident of Sadabad, has alleged that he had come to Vrindavan and has been missing since then. The family also accused some people associated with the ashram of not cooperating with them. After being informed about the matter, police became active in the case. The family has demanded that the police conduct a serious investigation to ensure Anuj’s safe recovery. Police personnel were also deployed around the ashram to deal with any untoward situation.
10-Year-Old Boy Missing from a Dhaba
Anita Chaudhary, a resident of Najafgarh, Delhi, said that she used to work as a cook at a dhaba outside the ashram. Her 10-year-old son, Vansh, also stayed with her.
According to Anita, around six days ago, she went to her village for some work and left her son at the dhaba. When she returned, Vansh was not there. Anita has accused the dhaba operator of allegedly conspiring to make her son disappear. Police are investigating the allegations made in the case.
Noida Woman Also Missing
Meanwhile, Umesh Singh, a resident of Noida, arrived in Vrindavan in search of his 38-year-old daughter, Vibha. He said that his daughter had left home on August 15 for Sant Premanand Maharaj’s ashram in Vrindavan. Vibha wanted to receive initiation from Sant Premanand Maharaj. Since then, the family has been unable to contact her.
According to Umesh, a missing-person complaint has also been filed with the Noida Police. He was seen searching for his daughter around the ashram.
Missing Cases Raise Fresh Questions
The successive reports of people going missing following the suspicious death of Rasik Dulari Sharan have raised fresh questions regarding developments associated with the ashram. However, the allegations made in these cases can only be confirmed after investigation. Police said each complaint is being examined separately on the basis of the facts and evidence available in each case.
