CHANDIGARH: Punjab and Haryana high court has directed the police to file an FIR against self-proclaimed godwoman Sukhwinder Kaur alias Radhe Maa, based on a plea filed by former Vishwa Hindu Parishad member Surender Mittal. A resident of Punjab's Phagwara district approached the court stating that Radhe Maa has been constantly threatening him for speaking against her.

Meanwhile, the Bombay High Court had earlier asked the police to record the statement of the victim who had accused Radhe Maa of instigating her in laws to harass her for dowry. The Borivali police was directed by the court to record the statement on a plea filed by Niki Gupta in which she had pleaded that she be allowed to assist the police in conducting the probe further.

Police had dropped the name of Radhe Maa from the case on the ground that no evidence was found against her. The complainant was not informed of the move. Gupta had pleaded that her statement is recorded in the case for further investigation.

Niki Gupta had alleged that police didn’t inform her about dropping the charges neither did they informed the magistrate court. The High Court ruled that complainant had the right to seek further probe in the matter if she is not satisfied with the probe.
