Bihar court issues warrant against Nirmal Baba

New Delhi: A local court in Bihar on Saturday issued a non-bailable warrant against spiritual leader Nirmal Baba in connection with a cheating and forgery case.

Chief Judicial Magistrate's court in Araria district of Bihar issued the arrest warrant against the Delhi-based spiritual leader.

The court's order comes in connection with a forgery case filed in Forbesganj court last month.

Nirmal Baba has been in the line of fire after several allegations of cheating and fraud surfaced against him.

On Thursday, the Delhi High Court too had issued a notice to the Central and Delhi governments on a plea seeking action against godmen who advertise offering "magic treatments" to patients.
