In the latest twist to the controversies hovering around the self-proclaimed godman Sarathi Baba, a 49-year-old woman on Friday asked the crime branch to probe the parentage of Satyam Sekhar Raul, whom the fake baba claimed to be his son.

“Satyam is my biological child. He was born on 1995. The godman had adopted him in 1998”, the woman (a mother of three) revealed while requesting not to be named.

A resident of the township and spouse of an employee of a nationalized bank here, she said “I have been shocked and stunned to know the bizarre claim that Satyam was churned out from ‘bibhuti’ (ashes) by the godman. It&’s a canard. As a mother, it&’s difficult on my part to digest such falsehood."

"Let crime branch inquire. I am ready for a DNA test if the probe agency opts for it," she observed.

"Like thousands of others, I was deceived by his magical antics and had become one of his ardent devotees. Baba had politely pleaded before us to hand over our fourth child whom we lovingly called ‘Bubu’. He wanted to legally adopt him. As we had three children, we gave in to Baba&’s request."

"When Bubu was adopted by Baba, he was hardly three year old. Then number of his followers was on a limited scale. Baba later renamed him as Satyam. Since the day of his adoption, I have never been identified as his real mother," she said.

It may be noted that the police is on the look out for Satyam who is absconding. A SUV, suspected to be used by him was found abandoned in a parking lot of a private hospital at Bhubaneswar.

The crime branch police has unearthed several bank accounts and property in Satyam Trust named after the boy.
