Patiala: Gau Raksha Dal chief Satish Kumar was arrested from Vrindavan after being booked on charges of sodomy, rioting and extortion among others. SSP Gurmeet Chauhan yesterday confirmed his arrest. Police sources said he was arrested Saturday night from Vrindavan where he was hiding after he was booked on several IPC charges a fortnight earlier.

The case was lodged on August 6, two years after a video went viral showing Gau Raksha Dal members brutally thrashing people. Satish was also booked under Section 377 of the IPC which criminalizes unnatural sex after a youth from Saharanpur alleged that he was abducted and sodomized by Satish's goons.
Another victim from Saharanpur had told a judicial magistrate that Satish, Bablu and 10-15 others had forcibly taken him to a cow shelter in Rajpura where he was sodomized.
Another victim had told the police last week that he was detained by the self-styled cow vigilantes, robbed and tortured. He also alleged that he was sodomized by Satish.
