Police raid ‘Buddha boy’ ashram in Nepal

New Delhi (CNN)Authorities in Nepal raided one of the ashrams of a spiritual leader — whose supporters believe he is the reincarnation of Buddha — while investigating the disappearance of four of his followers.

Uma Prasad Chaturvedi, a spokesman for Nepal’s Central Investigation Bureau (CIB), said police began searching the ashram, a type of spiritual monastery, north of the capital, Kathmandu, after getting a tip that a body was buried there.
The police search of the premises failed to uncover any human remains.
