Delhi Institute Manager Arrested: Molestation, Fake UN Plates & Ashram Denials Stir Controversy

A shocking revelation has rocked the capital city of Delhi as the manager of an institute operating under the purported aegis of a well-known spiritual organization has been arrested on grave charges of molestation against multiple women, alongside allegations of fraud and impersonation. Sanjeev Kumar, 45, who managed the 'Sanskarshala' institute in Pitampura, now faces a litany of charges that include sexually harassing his female staff and students, and illegally using a luxury car adorned with a fake United Nations registration plate and beacon.

The Delhi Police initiated action following complaints from three women – two staff members and one student, all aged between 22 and 26 – who detailed harrowing experiences of sexual harassment.

Allegations against Kumar include making deeply objectionable comments, passing lewd remarks, and inappropriate touching. In one disturbing account, a complainant described being forcibly kissed on the hand, while another reported incidents of sexual harassment occurring both in his office and inside his vehicle.

Further investigations brought to light Kumar's audacious use of a Volvo S60 sedan, which he reportedly outfitted with a forged UN registration plate and a beacon.

This elaborate deception, police suspect, was part of an attempt to project an aura of authority and influence, potentially to evade scrutiny or simply to impress others with a false sense of official standing. Such an act not only constitutes impersonation but also a serious breach of security protocols.

The Sanskarshala institute, managed by Kumar, was reportedly operating under the banner of the Divya Jyoti Jagrati Sansthan (DJJS), a prominent spiritual ashram.

However, in the wake of the severe allegations, the DJJS swiftly distanced itself from Sanjeev Kumar and the institute. A spokesperson for the ashram stated that Sanskarshala was an independent entity run by Kumar, and that the ashram had no direct association with his personal actions or the day-to-day operations of the institute, emphasizing their commitment to moral conduct and rejecting any involvement in the alleged wrongdoings.

Kumar's arrest was promptly executed by the Delhi Police, who also seized the suspicious Volvo.

He has been booked under various sections of the Indian Penal Code, including 354 (assault or criminal force to woman with intent to outrage her modesty), 354A (sexual harassment), 420 (cheating), 468 (forgery for purpose of cheating), 471 (using as genuine a forged document), 120B (criminal conspiracy), 170 (personating a public servant), and 482 (using a false property mark).

This extensive list of charges underscores the gravity of the crimes he is accused of. The ongoing investigation aims to uncover the full extent of his alleged activities and ensure justice for the victims.
