Chandigarh: A self-proclaimed god-woman surrendered in Haryana's Karnal today, three days after she and her guards danced and fired shots in the air to celebrate at a wedding, leaving the groom's aunt dead and three relatives badly wounded.
Declaring that she regretted the death, Sadhvi Deva Thakur claimed that she was being framed and that she was unwell.
"I am innocent, I need urgent medical attention...it's a conspiracy against me, there were other people who were firing," she told reporters.
The "Sadhvi" was produced before a magistrate amid tight security.
The saffron-robed and gold-laden Deva Thakur and her guards are seen in video footage firing several shots in the air at the wedding on Tuesday, while dancing to a song they had requested. They allegedly aimed at the crowded dance floor, leaving the woman dead and three relatives of the groom injured.
As the groom's aunt collapsed, the gang ran away. Deva Thakur's ashram has been sealed and two luxury vehicles have been impounded.
The so-called god-woman's aides in the video are still missing, including the man whose bullet allegedly killed the woman. Senior district police officials say special teams have been sent to various locations to catch them.
