The Delhi High Court today said if Virender Dev Dixit, who allegedly kept girls and women confined at an ashram founded by him in the national capital, has done nothing wrong, then why was he running away from the CBI which through Interpol has issued a blue corner notice to locate him.
The query was addressed to the ashram's lawyer by a bench of Acting Chief Justice Gita Mittal and Justice C Hari Shankar that asked, "Why does your leader not appear before CBI? He is absconding. Your leader is running, that too at an international level. What kind of example is he setting? Ask him to appear before CBI. If you have nothing to hide, make your activities transparent."
The lawyer also said that their spirituality prohibits them from registering their group with any statutory body, to which the court said,"Your spirituality is also bound by the law. If it is not in harmony with the law prescribed, then you will have to face the consequences."
