The DGP said 10,000 followers have come out of the ashram, while nearly 5,000 are still believed to be inside.
Nearly 270 of Rampal's supporters, including 20 key functionaries of his ashram, besides 250 members of his private army have been detained after the fresh charges, including that of rioting, were invoked.
After investigation, those found involved will be put under arrest, he added.
"As the investigation progresses, further charges would be added on the basis of evidence that comes to the fore against them," he said.
He said the operation had been temporarily halted on Tuesday night to allow more followers to come out of the Satlok ashram.
"So far, as many as 10,000 followers have come out. We believe nearly 5,000 followers are still inside. These followers include women, children and very old persons as well. Most of them hail from places like Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh.
"We are committed to protecting the lives of innocents. Therefore, we are not setting any deadline for this operation as our over-riding priority is to save the lives of innocents," the DGP, who was flanked by additional chief secretary (home) P K Mahapatra and principal secretary to Chief Minister, Sanjeev Kaushal, said.
