Sant Rampal is the founder of a Satlok Ashram and started his own sect that prohibits temple visits, idol worship, untouchability, adultery and "vulgar singing and dancing", among other things.

63-year-old Rampal was arrested on November 19 after a two-week tense standoff between his supporters and the police after close to 15,000 of his followers were evacuated from the sprawling premises.

The police went to arrest Rampal in a 2006 murder case but his followers refused to let them inside the Ashram.

During the standoff between Rampal's followers and the police, five women and a child had died, while more than 200 people were injured in the clashes. The police later added sedition charges against Rampal.

Reportedly, the government spent Rs 26 crore on the operation to arrest him.
