nithyananda-sex-scandalThe controversial godman Nithyananda Swami is at centre of a controversy after his alleged steamy acts was telecast on TV channels, on Sunday claimed that he had not done anything illegal and against law. “Neither the ashram nor I did anything that is against the law. We will find out the truth and will come back to you very soon. Till then please be patient,” he said in a video clip. The CD of him speaking before a camera at an undisclosed location was sent through his lawyer and circulated to select media.

I am in the process of gathering information regarding charges and allegations levelled against me said Nithyananda. The contents of his speech were telecast by a private Tamil Satellite Channel. His statement comes a day after his former disciple Nithya Dharmananda alias K Lenin said he had shot the video purportedly showing Nityananda in a compromising position with an actress which was later telecast on TV channels.

Based on the disciple’s complaint, police registered cases against Nityananda under various sections of the IPC including cheating, criminal intimidation and rape. Meanwhile Chennai Police Commissioner T Rajendran said special teams had been formed to trace Nityananda.

The video aired on Tamil TV channels recently had caused a furore, with some Hindu groups and others protesting against Nityananda even as Karnataka government promised “very strict” action against him. The entire footage was morphed using graphics technology said the Ashram.

Whether Nithyananda is innocent or a fraud will come to know only after the investigations are completed by the police until then it is wait and watch situation. -  Agencies.
