Dubbed "Buddha Boy" Arrested In Nepal
Ram Lal Bomjan, also known as Nepal's ''Little Buddha'' or the ''Buddha Boy'' (center), is being escorted by officials of the Central Investigation Bureau after his arrest on charges of rape and forced disappearance in Kathmandu, Nepal, on January 10, 2024. Believed to be a reincarnated form of Gautam Buddha, Bomjan, 34, first came to public attention in 2005 after he claimed to have meditated for months without food, water, or sleep. Following the end of his meditation, he established ashrams in the Bara, Sarlahi, Sindhupalchowk, and Sindhuli Districts. (Photo by Sanjit Pariyar/NurPhoto)
