The Ahmedabad sessions court on Monday rejected the bail plea of self-styled godman and yoga guru Pradeep Jotangiya , who was accused of running a fake currency racket in Surat, observing that he was part of a “criminal conspiracy” that sought to weaken the Indian economy and that his custody was necessary to catch the remaining individuals involved in the racket. Jotangiya, 37, and five others were caught in possession of counterfeit currency notes with a face value of Rs 2.10 crore. Their SUV, which was flagged down and the six detained, had ‘Ayush Mantralay’ written on its licence plate. Jotangiya runs an ashram called Shree Satyam Yog Foundation on Surat ’s outskirts. The other detainees, who were later arrested, were identified as Mukesh Thummar, Ashok Mavani, Ramesh Balar, Divyesh Rana, and a woman, all of whom hail from Surat. The police also recovered fake notes, in the same Rs 500 denomination, totalling Rs 28 lakh from Thummar’s residence in Surat’s Sarthana.…
