The Pali district administration has found several irregularities in the ashram being run by self-styled godman Daati Maharaj, Rajasthan State Commission for Women Chairperson Suman Sharma claimed today.
We will receive the probe report of Pali district administration in a couple of days. It is in the final stages. Irregularities have been revealed during the investigation, Sharma told PTI.
On June 21, a team of the Rajasthan State Commission for Women had carried out an inspection at the Aashwashan Bal Gram Sansthan, Alawas, in Pali district where a school, college and hostel were being operated.
The institution management could not produce an NOC from government for running the educational institute and hostel. Against the entry of 153 girls in a register, the team found 253 girls there, the commission report said.
Names of students did not tally with the parents' names in the various government documents submitted at the time of admission. In some cases, the dates of birth of girls did not match with the government documents, it said.
Finding the irregularities, the commission chairman had written to the Pali district administration to conducted a detailed investigation and submit a report in 10 days.
