AURANGABAD: A 38-year-old self-proclaimed godman was arrested from Maharashtra 's Buldhana district on Sunday, days after audio clips and videos of him allegedly forcing male devotees into unnatural sex went viral on social media. The accused, Asif Noori, had been targeting men in different districts of Marathwada , especially Parbhani and Nanded, for a decade.

Noori, from Parbhani, would mostly lure young, married men by offering to resolve their problems with supernatural powers he claimed to possess.

He would take the victims to a room on the pretext of performing rituals and sedate them before forcibly having unnatural sex, believe cops. Some of Noori's aides would also join in the crime.
