Prakash Jha maintains that he, however, concluded that such people (self-styled godman) exist, based on the research that he did.

I had to sift through a lot of mundane stuff to explore the relationships these self-proclaimed godmen have with women, police investigative agencies, politicians, the youth, and also with the drug cartels,” he explained.
