#Hisar: In the search operation of the ashram of Rampal, police found several obscene and illegal materials inside the highly-fortified Satlok Ashram.
Police had found huge cache of arms and ammunition, petrol bombs, acid syringes, a chilli grenade and a pregnancy test strip were found inside Ashram.
Special Investigation Team of Haryana police is conducting the search in the ashram.
The pregnancy test strip was recovered by police from a room adjacent to the one of Rampal in the ashram.
The police also found a woman lying unconscious and locked in a bathroom. She was admitted to general hospital. She has been identified as Bijlesh, a resident of Ashok Nagar village in Madhya Pradesh.
A spokesman of the police department said the team had recovered three .32 bore revolvers, 19 air guns, two DBBL 12 bore, two .315 bore rifles, 28 cartridges of .32 bore, 50 cartridges of 12 bore and 25 cartridges of .315 bore.
Most of the weapons were kept in bags and almirahs in two secret rooms. At the centre of the ashram, Rampal had an elevated structure on which he had his seat. The ammunition was stored under the structure so that no one could suspect the location.
The search also revealed a private swimming pool, state-of-the-art elevators and 24 AC rooms. The rooms, which could be compared to a luxury hotel or a farm house, had attached bathrooms fitted with top-of-the line fixtures. While one of the rooms had a massage bed, the other had a treadmill.
The team also found helmets and sticks and 20 pairs of black dresses and two tanks containing 800 litres of diesel and catapult.
The police spokesman said that the search operation would continue for a few days more owing to the size of the ashram.
The ‘satsang’ (prayer) hall in the complex, which came up in four years, is the centerpiece of the ashram with a sitting capacity for 50,000 people.
