Lies, damn lies: Rampal pleads innocence

November 20, 2014 12:37

"Yeh jhuthee ilzaam hein (these are false allegations)," 63-year-old Rampal told reporters after his medical examination was conducted at the hospital in Panchkula, Haryana.

Asked about claims of his followers that they had been kept hostage by his private armed commandos and other henchmen, Rampal in his first reaction after his arrest, said, "No, this is not true...."

As journalists fired a volley of questions at him, Rampal kept walking towards a waiting police vehicle, jostling his way through the battery of mediapersons who surrounded him.

He will be produced before the Punjab and Haryana High Court in a contempt case later today.
