A Raipur Court on January 3, 2022 dismissed the Bail plea application of Sant Kalicharan citing that the Allegations, about him making derogatory comments about Mahatma Gandhi, that are made against him are of grave nature.
The seer Sant Kalicharan was Arrested by the Chhattisgarh Police on December 30, 2021 and has been sentenced by the Court on January 1, 2022 to a Judicial Custody till January 13, 2022.
The self-proclaimed godman was Arrested from Khajuraho in Madhya Pradesh by the Chhattisgarh Police after he anonymously posted a video stating that he did not regret the derogatory comments he made about Mahatma Gandhi at a two-day Dharam Sansad that was organized in Raipur.
Before the Arrest was made by the Chhattisgarh Police, Chief Minister of Chhattisgarh Bhupesh Baghel stated, “If he (Kalicharan) is so courageous, why doesn’t he surrender and face the law instead of giving statements from outside Chhattisgarh.”
In the Viral video, the Sant Kalicharan is seen making belittling and deprecatory remarks against Gandhiji, he stated, “They (minorities) seized power through politics here. And the great **** Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi led us to this ruin. Salutations to Godse ji that he killed that ****.”
