A local court on Wednesday directed Luknow police to register a case of fraud and cheating against Delhi based self proclaimed godman Nirmal Baba alias Nirmaljeet Singh Nerula.

Chief Judicial Magistrate Rajesh Upadhyaya further directed Gomitnagar police to probe the matter and submit the report in the court. The Judge cited a 1999 Supreme Court ruling and said that if a person present himself as godman capable of treating the disease by his super natural power and takes money for it, the action will fall under the category of fraud.

The order came on the application of two school children Tanya Thakur (16) and her brother Aditya (13), children of IPS officer Amitabh and social activist Nutan Thakur. It was stated in the application that on April 10, 2012, they moved an application to Gomtinagar for register FIR against Nirmal Baba but the police turned them away. The children also approached deputy inspector general of police, Lucknow, additional director general of police, UP, but to no avail.

The children stated in their application that Nirmal Baba holds durbar in big cities and metros. His programmes are also aired on different TV channels. The children said that they saw one of his programme on a TV channel and came to the conclusion that Nirmal Baba is cheating ordinary and poor people facing various problems in life through his improbable solutions.

In its order, the court observed that the acts of Nirmal Baba are against scientific temper and rationality. "Not only this, his acts amount to misuse of religion and spirituality. Inviting to deposit money directly in the account in order to solve problems of people is in fact amount to fraud with the society and it should be investigated. Baba's act has also influenced people of Lucknow, hence it is necessary the matter should be probed," the court added.
