Leader Of A Religious Sect

The Delhi Police's Crime Branch has raided a farmhouse of Tablighi Jamaat leader Maulana Saad Kandhavli, who was charged for organising a religious congregation in New Delhi in violation of COVID-19 lockdown orders, officials said on Thursday.

Tablighi Jamaat leader Maulana Saad Kandhalvi, who has been charged by the Delhi Police for holding a religious congregation during the lockdown, on Tuesday appealed to coronavirus survivors to donate blood plasma for infected people.

While more and more coronavirus cases in the country are being traced to a religious gathering in Delhi of the Islamic missionary sect Tablighi Jamaat, a hunt is on for its leader Maulana Saad Kandhalvi, last seen on March 28.

Religious leader Computer Baba, who was recently expelled from the Digambar Ani Akhada, said he is mulling to set up a new "akhada", or sect, when the Kumbh Mela takes places in Allahabad in Uttar Pradesh.

Religious leader Computer Baba, a friend-turned-foe of the Shivraj Singh Chouhan government in Madhya Pradesh, has been expelled by the 'Akhada' to which he belongs.

At least 24 people were killed and many were injured in a stampede at a religious gathering on the outskirts of Uttar Pradesh's Varanasi on Saturday. The stampede broke out when thousands of devotees of a religious leader tried to cross a bridge at once.

A Chinese court has sentenced the leader of a religious sect labelled a cult by authorities to life in prison on several charges, according to an official statement, with three of his followers also jailed.

India's Censor Board chief Leela Samson has resigned amid reports that the film "Messenger of God (MSG)" starring controversial Dera Sachcha Sauda sect chief Gurmeet Singh Ram Rahim has been cleared after the government referred it to a tribunal. The Censor Board had not cleared the film, which has raised worries about religious tension.

Hundreds of followers of a religious sect submitted on Wednesday to a search of their rural commune by South Korean authorities seeking the arrest of the head of the family that operated a ferry which capsized last month killing more than 300 people.
