Even as the number of complainants of sexual harassment and threatening lodged by women against Sarathi Baba continues rising, the whereabouts of a women, whose photograph was framed with the Baba and kept in his bedroom at his ashram at Barimul in Kendrapada district, are not yet known.
What is particularly significant is that while Sarathi had relationship with a number of women who had thronged his ashram, he never had a photograph of any of these women with him.
The identity and whereabouts of the mysterious woman and the kind of relationship she had with the tainted godman are yet to be ascertained. It is also to be known if Sarathi forced her to be in a relationship like he did with others.
Notably, as of today, three women have brought sexual harassment allegation against the Baba including the girl who visited Hyderabad with him and one of the ashram inmates. The Crime Branch police have had their statements recorded under Section 164 before magistrate.
The Crime Branch, which has found conclusive evidence of the Baba’s stay with a woman at the Golkonda hotel in Hyderabad from the CCTV footage and air travel tickets booked in their names, it is yet to find any strong evidence against the Baba as per the complaints lodged by the three women.
