An investigation was started by Indian customs officials. [7] The director of the movement's public relations division said that the money was to be used to support the local travel and food expenses of the visitors,[6], and lawyers representing the Divine Light Mission reported that one of the travelers, forgot to declare the currency and valuables, and that the goods seized did not belong to Rawat.[8]He was forced to post a $13,300 bond in June 1973 to enable him to resume traveling and attend a planned English-American tour, while the investigation was ongoing.[9] Charges were never filed and the government later apologized.[10] [11]
