A Nepali spiritual leader believed by his followers to be a reincarnation of Buddha is under investigation over the disappearance of several devotees, police in Kathmandu have said.

加德滿都警方稱，一位被他的追隨者認為是佛陀轉世的尼泊爾精神領袖正因幾名奉獻者的失蹤而接受調查。

Ram Bahadur Bomjan, known as 「Buddha boy」, became famous in 2005 after followers said he could meditate motionless for months without water, food or sleep in Nepal』s jungles.

被稱為「小活佛」的拉姆?巴哈杜爾?巴姆喬恩在2005年出名，因為追隨者們說他可以在沒有水、食物或睡眠的情況下靜坐幾個月。

The 28-year-old has a devout following but has been accused of physically and sexually assaulting some of his followers. Special police investigators have begun inquiries after the families of four devotees allegedly vanished from his ashrams.

這位28歲的年輕人有一群虔誠的追隨者，但他被指控身體和性侵他的一些追隨者。在四名信徒的家屬從他的靜休處上消失後，特警調查人員開始了調查。

「The police have started investigating these complaints against Bomjan,」 said Uma Prasad Chaturbedi, a spokesman for Nepal』s Central Investigation Bureau. 「The investigation is in preliminary stage and we cannot share many details.」

尼泊爾中央調查局發言人烏瑪·普拉薩德·查圖貝迪表示：「警方已開始調查針對巴姆喬恩的這些投訴。」「調查尚處於初步階段，我們無法分享很多細節。」

Bomjan has long been dogged by accusations of abuse, even as thousands of worshippers queued for days to witness his 「miracles of meditation」 deep in the jungle.

巴姆喬恩長期以來一直受到虐待指控的困擾，儘管數千名禮拜者在叢林深處排隊數天見證他的「冥想奇蹟」。

In September last year, an 18-year-old nun accused him of raping her at one of his ashrams. Dozens more have filed complaints against him alleging assault. Bomjan said he beat them for disturbing his meditation.

去年9月，一名18歲的修女指控他在他的一個道場強姦她。另有數十人對他提起訴訟，指控他受到攻擊。巴姆喬恩說他因為打攪了他的冥想而打了他們一頓。

The Bodhi Shrawan Dharma Sangha, an organisation associated with Bomjam, recently claimed fresh allegations made by a local website were baseless. Setopati.com published reports detailing alleged cases of disappearances, sexual assault and violence in Bomjan』s ashrams.

與巴姆喬恩有聯繫的組織菩提舍拉灣法僧伽最近聲稱，當地網站提出的新指控是毫無根據的。Setopati.com發布了一些報告，詳細描述了在巴姆喬恩靜修處中的失蹤、性侵犯和暴力案件。
