Ashutosh Brahmachari Maharaj, who filed the complaint that led to an FIR against Shankracharya Swami Avimukteshwaranand Saraswati in a POCSO case involving alleged sexual assault of two child devotees (bhakts), has now approached the Supreme Court, challenging the Allahabad High Court's decision to grant Saraswati anticipatory bail.

The Allahabad High Court on Wednesday, March 25, granted anticipatory bail to Saraswati in the POCSO case, citing a delay in filing the complaint by the informant and inconsistencies in the statements of the alleged victims.
