Scotsman Hugh Milne was the bodyguard of a notorious Indian guru who amassed thousands of followers and 100 Rolls Royces. He tells us what was really going on behind the scenes.

For almost a decade Hugh Milne worked as a bodyguard for an extremely controversial man - an Indian guru who had tens of thousands of followers. He went by the name of Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, and he preached free love. This was in the 1970s, when many young Westerners were abandoning traditional ideas of monogamy, and looking east for new ideas around sexuality and spirituality. Hugh went to India to learn from Rajneesh - and later followed him to the United States, to Oregon where he was establishing a base. He's written a book about his experience with Rajneesh called Bhagwan, the God that Failed.

The phenomenon has spawned a whole industry of people who clean up at the scenes where these people die. Reporter Alessia Cerantola went to the city of Yokohama to find out more.
