HISAR: The police have recovered one
digital video recorder (DVR) from the residence of tantric (occultist) Amarpuri alias Billu, arrested for allegedly raping and making videos of over 100 women, in Tohana town of
Fatehabad district on Saturday. Amarpuri was remanded to five-day police custody after he was arrested on Thursday.
Meanwhile, police also recorded the statements of one of the victims who came forward after his arrest. Fatehabad superintendent of police (SP) Deepak Saharan said the accused was being questioned. He also appealed to the victims to approach the police to get their statements recorded for further investigation in the matter.
The incident came to light on Thursday when a close relative of Amarpuri handed over a CD containing 120 objectionable video clips of the accused with various women. Police said the tantric shot the video clips on his cellphone. Police arrested Amarpuri and booked him under the relevant sections of the IPC, for rape, word, gesture or act intended to insult the modesty of a woman, obscenity and criminal intimidation.
Amarpuri neighbours in ward number 19 of Tohana said they were suspicious of his activities. They said two of his daughter-in-laws had left the house due to the alleged immoral activities of the tantric. They said Amarpuri had also disowned one of his sons from his property due to a dispute while the other son was staying with him.
