Dasna priest Yati Narsinghanand Saraswati has been booked for assaulting a group of journalists, Hindustan Times reported. This came a day after he was arrested for his hate speech at an event in Haridwar last month and for derogatory remarks against women.
Speaking to Hindustan Times, station house officer of Haridwar Kotwali police station, Rakendra Kathait, said, “The seer was booked on the basis of a complaint by a Delhi-based journalist, Vineet Khare, who alleged that he and two of his colleagues were assaulted by the seer and his followers during an interview. The journalist also alleged that he and his colleagues were threatened with dire consequences.”
