Amidst a mob of at least 100 that entered the Kumbh Mela camp of His Divine Holiness wielding weapons and demanding Him to leave, 3 assassins were implanted by the militant groups to exterminate Him. The mob ended up dismantling an empty camp in the Kumbh Ghat area. The destruction of the camp in the middle of the Kumbh Mela where there was no defense for His Divine Holiness, incited continuous fear psychosis. The havoc made by the mob created an immense amount of confusion in order to execute the silent assassination of Paramahamsa Nithyananda. However, even before the mob entered the camp, His Divine Holiness was taken away from the camp to a hotel in the heart of the city of Haridwar.
His Divine Holiness remained in the hotel to attend the remaining rituals of the Kumbh Mela. On 15 March 2010, in the afternoon, from the hotel window in Haridwar, one of His Divine Holiness’ secretaries noticed a group of four people dressed in misleading laymen’s clothes advancing in their direction. Two of them had video cameras slung over their shoulders, other two were seemingly empty-handed. Instant panic hit the Secretaries and they alerted His Divine Holiness of the situation.
