A city court on Tuesday placed self-styled godman Sant Rampal on six days transit remand, thereby, giving the police some more time to investigate.
"The court has given a six-day remand to Sant Rampal so that the police can investigate the matter," said lawyer Ashok Mittal.
The Punjab and Haryana High court, which had earlier last week sent Rampal to judicial custody, had asked the Haryana DGP to submit an affidavit detailing the operation conducted by the police to execute the his arrest.
The high court had further asked Haryana's Chief Secretary to submit a report regarding the assets owned by Rampal.
The self-styled godman, who was arrested from his Satlok Ashram after a two-week long standoff in Hisar's Barwala town, had rubbished all the charges leveled against him.
Rampal had also rejected the charges that he had asked thousands of his followers to be kept "hostage" for past several days inside his ashram at Barwala to evade police action in a contempt of court case.
