Bisoi alias Anandatma Baba was arrested by police in Salepur locality yesterday on murder charges after the charred body of a 40-year-old youth was recovered from his Rameswar Ashram, about 20 km from here on Saturday afternoon.
A police official said the godman was quizzed by a team of sleuths inside the police station in presence of two other inmates of the Ashram in the afternoon after he was taken on police remand from the local sub-jail.
The sleuths are also examining Bisoi in connection with two other cases, including one FIR filed by his wife in a police station in nearby Kendrapara district alleging torture and domestic violence against the godman, the official said.
