Self-styled godman Siva Sankar Baba, arrested in Delhi under the Pocso Act on charges of sexually harassing students in his Sushil Hari International Residential School at Kelambakkam, was on Thursday produced before a city magistrate’s court and lodged at the Chengalpet subjail.
The 72-year-old, who underwent an angioplasty at a private hospital in Dehradun, Uttarakhand, sought permission to get treated at a private hospital but the court refused after police promised he would get the best care at a government hospital. The magistrate remanded Siva Sankar Baba in judicial custody for 14 days and asked police to produce him before the court on June 30. The CB-CID team sought five days of custody to question him, but the court is yet to decide.
On Wednesday, when a team led by superintendent of police Vijayakumar nabbed him from Mayur lodge near Chittaranjan Park in Delhi, Siva Sankar Baba had tonsured his head. After tracking him through Srinivasan, one of his devotees, the team checked more than 30 lodges before finally nabbing him.
On June 12, the Mamallapuram all-women police registered three cases against Siva Sankar Baba based on complaints from several students of the school he founded. On June 13, the case was transferred to the CB-CID.
