The Delhi High Court yesterday ordered a CBI probe into an ashram in north Delhi where girls and women were allegedly kept in illegal confinement. A bench of Acting Chief Justice Gita Mittal and Justice C Hari Shankar asked the CBI Director to set up a special investigation team forthwith and seize all records pertaining to FIRs lodged in connection with alleged rape and suicides of the girls there. Yesterday, the high court had asked the police to conduct an inspection of the ashram, 'Adhyatmik Vishwa Vidyalaya' saying it was "extremely dangerous" that girls and women have been allegedly kept in illegal confinement in the name of preaching about God.
