"They smile in your face..."
Pat Haley, a reporter from Detroit's Fifth Estate, gathered national headlines last August by welcoming the Maharaj Ji's smiling face to Detroit with a whipped cream pie (see photo sequence). A week later Haley was hospitalized in serious condition, and the Guru was still smiling.
"They smile in your face..."
Pat Haley, a reporter from Detroit's Fifth Estate, gathered national headlines last August by welcoming the Maharaj Ji's smiling face to Detroit with a whipped cream pie (see photo sequence). A week later Haley was hospitalized in serious condition, and the Guru was still smiling.
Following the pie caper, Haley was approached by two men — 55 year old Juteswar Misra and 25 year old Richard Fletcher — who'suckered him with the story that they were prepared to finger their former master as a charlatan. Taken to the reporter's apartment, they assaulted him blindside and left him lying in a pool of blood. Haley suffered numerous head lacerations and contusions, and will henceforth carry a little reminder of the incident: a plastic plate covering the section of his skull that was shattered.
