Hisar: Police discovered five bodies on Wednesday after storming the ashram of self-styled godman Rampal in Hisar in Haryana and another of the man’s followers died in hospital, an officer said. “What started as a trickle hasn’t yet stopped and we have dropped off around 10,000 people at nearby bus and train stations,” assistant police superintendent Jashandeep Singh said of the followers. Police said they were checking those leaving the ashram in case Rampal, who considers himself an incarnation of the 15th-century mystic poet Kabir, was hiding in the crowd. “The people who left the ashram mostly said that they were being held against their will, as a shield for the guru against any police action,” Singh told AFP from outside the ashram in Barwala town.
