Delhi Police Charges Self-Styled Godman in Multiple Poisoning Murders Linked to Occult Practice

Delhi Police filed a 527-page chargesheet against Kamruddin, a self-styled godman accused of murdering six people, including three found near Peeragarhi Flyover last February. He allegedly poisoned victims with drug-laced laddus as part of an occult practice called 'Dhanvarsha' promising wealth. Investigations cite his learning the method from a guru and involvement in earlier murders in Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan. Evidence includes witness statements, CCTV footage, and call records, with an agent facilitating client introductions.
