Police said 70 supporters of the Rampal, most of them his 'private commandos', who indulged in violence yesterday, were arrested and produced before the local court which sent them to judicial custody till December 3.
Those arrested, include son of Rampal and chief volunteer Purushottam Dass, a cousin of the 'godman'.
Police also arrested Raj Kapoor who is the spokesperson of Satlok Ashram.
Police later said over 400 supporters of Rampal, who indulged in violence yesterday, were also arrested and produced before the local court which sent them to judicial custody till December 3.
Mounting pressure on godman Rampal to surrender, police has slapped sedition and other serious charges against him and several of his followers while ruling out any negotiations with him, a day after armed clashes took place.
Haryana director general of police S N Vashisht on Wednesday asserted that police will continue its "operation" till he is arrested for production before Punjab and Haryana high court on Friday in a contempt case.
He said the ashram authorities have handed over bodies of four women and two sick persons, including an infant, who also died in a hospital later. The cause of their death will be investigated.
"There is no possibility of negotiations... There is not even any plan.. He is accused of serious crimes. My suggestion to him is that he should surrender before the law," Vashisht said while addressing a press conference in Chandigarh.
