An Ahmedabad court on Wednesday sent the priest of the Junagadh Swaminarayan temple in Gujarat and three others to six days in police custody in connection with a sex scandal.
Metropolitan Magistrate D V Vaid remanded Swami Bhaktiswarup and his alleged accomplices -- Mansukh Bhagat, Bhanu Bhagat and Thakkarsinh Patel -- in police custody till February 22.
The Ahmedabad crime branch had on Tuesday seized a CD containing images of sadhus indulging in sexual acts.
Seeking the custody, the police told the court that they needed to find out who financed the whole operation.
