Godman Rampal seeks transfer to another jail

He has submitted that directions should be issued to the Haryana government to register a case against the jail officials responsible for committing “brutal atrocities” against him. His counsel told the court that the godman suffers from asthma and gastric and chest infections, which was allegedly getting worse “due to peculiar conditions created by the jail superintendent”. It has also been alleged that on December 13 last year, Dahiya had allegedly demanded Rs 50 lakh and threatened that if Rampal didn’t pay him the money, only his dead body would leave the jail.

He also submitted that he has sent a number of representations to the state chief minister, the DGP, Lokayukta and illaqa magistrate.
