New Delhi: Days after the most-talked episode of Hisar's Rampal Maharaj, another Charkhi Dadri-based sadhvi is in news for all the wrong reasons.

A 17-year-old girl of Haryana has accused  Sadhvi Kaushalya Bai, 47, of sexually exploiting her.  

In her police complaint, the minor victim said that she was harassed for marrying Kaushalya's another associate Kiran (name changed) who is 22-year-old.

As per the police complaint,  the victim had actually joined a stitching centre, run by Kaushalya Bai in May last year and had developed feelings for Kiran.

It was in October 2013, when the two married secretly.

The victim claimed that the ‘marriage' had the blessings of Kaushalya Bai as well.

The exploitation, girl said, started from earlier this year in January when she was spending a night with Kiran.

Kaushalya runs the Shri Krishna Pranami ashram in the Charkhi-Dadri area of Bhiwani district, where the alleged incident is said to have taken place.

The complaint also quoted her saying that she is not the first victim to be sexually exploited by Kaushalya.

Meanwhile, Kaushalya and Kiran have refuted the allegations. Police have also termed the charges baseless and an attempt to malign the duo.

Earlier this month, the victim along with her mother and Child Welfare Committee (CWC) chairperson Raj Bala Sheoran met ADGP (Crime Against Women) RC Mishra in Panchkula.

The girl alleged that police officials are trying to shield the controversial sadhvi.

Child Welfare Committee chairperson said some evidence regarding the girl's exploitation has been found but sexual exploitation of other girls was not confirmed.
