Police said Athayee, 52, from Iyyampalayam had left her family to stay in the ashram of the godman in Bengaluru in 2017. In recent days, she spoke over the phone with her family members and requested them to take her home. Meanwhile, she came to her native village along with two women disciples in a car. On knowing this, the villagers insisted that Athayee be sent with her family, but the two other disciples voiced their refusal. However, the villagers rescued the woman and forced the disciples to go away.
