An 89-year-old mahant has been accused of rape by his 51-year-old disciple in Delhi's Timarpur, prompting the police to file a case under section 376 of the IPC, according to law enforcement officials.

The complaint claims that Raja Ram Das, who oversees the Kabir Mandir in Timarpur, committed the alleged crime on April 14 at his ashram.

In a twist, Das has accused the woman and others of attempting to illegally take control of the religious site, with police confirming that both claims are under thorough investigation.
