Citing threat to life, VHP leader Sadhvi Prachi seeks police protection

Haridwar: Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) leader Sadhvi Prachi sought police protection on Sunday citing a threat to her life.

Sadhvi Prachi alleged that a woman who had come to take shelter with two children in her Vedic Niketan Ashram has hatched a conspiracy against her.

She requested the police to investigate the entire matter and provide her protection.

The VHP leader said that a woman named Sonia, along with two children, had come to her ashram seeking shelter.

A few days later, a man of a different religion came to meet Sonia, along with a child, raising suspicion. Following this, Sonia was asked to leave the Ashram, Sadhvi Prachi said.

However, for the past 15 days, Sonia has been asking for some time to vacate the place and has been spreading disinformation against her, she said.

In the meantime, she informed the police and they searched Sonia's belongings. They found Adhaar cards of different names, books of a different religion, a weapon and two mobile phones, Sadhvi Prachi said.

The woman was taken into custody, she added.
