Two doctors believed to be closely involved with the castration process were charged with criminal conspiracy as well as grievous hurt.

On December 23, 2014, the Punjab and Haryana High Court asked the Central Bureau of Investigation to probe allegations of forced castration in the cult.

The court was hearing a petition filed by Hansraj Chauhan, a former follower of the cult who claims he was castrated at the orders of the Dera chief.
