Aurangabad, July 23: A shocking case has come to the front, where a self-proclaimed godman identified as Asif Noori was arrested from Maharashtra's Buldhana district after videos and audio clips of him forcing male devotees into unnatural sex went viral on social media. According to a Times of India report, the accused has been targeting men in different districts of Marathwada, especially Parbhani and Nanded for over a decade.

His method involved luring young, married men and claiming to solve their problems with supernatural powers he had. The cops believe that the godman would take them to his room under the pretext of performing a ritual, and would then sedate the person, and perform unnatural sex on him. His aides would also often join him in the act.

In another incident from Haryana, a godman was arrested for allegedly raping, and filming 120 women. The 60-year-old priest was arrested after videos of him raping several women surfaced online. The accused took the video because he intended to blackmail the women. Police urged people not to circulate the videos further, with a warning that it is a criminal act.
