The CBI has confirmed the death of Virendra Dev Dixit, the central figure in the Rohini ashram case, where he was accused of raping and abusing followers. Dixit had been on the run since 2017, with a substantial reward offered for information leading to his arrest. The news of his death was received by the CBI in January 2025. The CBI is now petitioning the court to dismiss the case given Dixit’s passing. The investigation into Dixit’s actions reached Nepal as authorities sought to bring him to justice. The ashram’s location was secured by barbed wire, reinforcing the allegations of captivity and abuse. The courts are handling related investigations into cases of missing persons, sexual offenses, and a reported suicide, all linked to the ashram and the activities of Virendra Dev Dixit. The case began after multiple complaints were made, leading to police investigations.
