Ram Vraksh apparently was in touch with some extremist groups who had been supplying arms and explosives to him. It is believed that he also provided a safe haven to extremists who frequented his makeshift township in Jawahar Bagh. “Apparently, Ram Vraksh worked as a conduit for these groups, both for money and arms supply,” the official said.
