He's facing other criminal investigations as well. There's an ongoing trial over the murder of a journalist. ....
He promotes vegetarianism, campaigns against drug addiction and holds massive blood donation camps. He has started a film franchise in which he stars as the "Messenger of God," or MSG, with divine powers to save the world. The sect runs schools, colleges and hospitals.
