Nithyananda Swami of Dhyanapeetham used to hire chartered flights to fly within India and club class on board top airlines to global destinations. However, all that changed after his intimate act with a Tamil film actress.

Now, he was made to fly 'cattle class', in the last row of the flight (next to a toilet) on Thursday while being brought to Bangalore after he was arrested in Solan district of Himachal Pradesh.

CID sleuths arrested Nithyananda, along with his devotee, Nitya Bhaktananda, from a summer house belonging to the swamiji's well-wisher.

The sleuths brought him to the city via Shimla-Chandigarh-Mumbai on a Kingfisher flight.

"Swamiji remained calm throughout the journey. He kept smiling and folding hands in a 'namaskara' to everyone who showed interest in him," a police officer who brought him here told Bangalore Mirror.

Some people walked up to him in Mumbai airport and told him he would come out of the mess soon.

Before boarding the flight, sleuths produced the swamiji before a magistrate in Shimla and obtained a transit remand. They also subjected him to a mandatory medical check-up before boarding the flight to Chandigarh. From there, he was taken to Mumbai to catch a flight to Bangalore. He arrived in Bangalore International Airport at 6.45 pm.

As per the transit remand, he has to be produced before a magistrate as soon as he arrives in Bangalore. Accordingly, sleuths produced him before a magistrate in Ramanagaram, where a case against him has been booked, around 9.15 pm. Later, both Nithyananda and his disciple were taken to the district hospital for a medical check-up and produced before the chief judicial magistrate. Sleuths have decided to take the swamiji into police custody to probe charges against him.

He will also be taken to his ashram near Bidadi, Chennai, Salem, Coimbatore and other places to collect evidence against him. Once the investigation is complete, police will produce him before the magistrate who will decide whether to send him to judicial remand (jail) or grant bail.

Swamiji's lawyer, H S Chandramouli, who was a special public prosecutor for the state government in the high court, said he will move an application before a sessions court seeking bail for his client.

BACKACHE VANISHES

Reiki healing came in handy for Nithyananda for striking a rapport with the police officers who arrested him in HP. "DySP Hussain complained of backache on Wednesday night in the presence of the swamiji. When Hussain showed him the pain spot, the swamiji placed his finger on the spot and another finger nearby. With a flick of a finger, he did something and his pain vanished," said a police officer.

IPL & SWAMI

If sources are to be believed, there is a connection between Nithyananda and IPL. Sources, said, "The swamiji was arrested from a summer house in HP. It was not an arrest, it was a surrender. The police were actually tipped off by swamiji's people about his presence in Himachal Pradesh. They did it to get him arrested now because it will get less exposure in the media because of the ongoing IPL controversy."

BANGALORE MIRROR BUREAU

The he-non-disclosure agreement that volunteers at Swami Nithyananda's ashram had to sign suggests that sex, nudity and erotica were part of the goings-on, all in the name of tantric rituals. Vidya Vishwanathan, who accused Nithyananda of outraging and hurting religious sentiments, signed the agreement on Sept 2009 and hence could not object to anything related to sex and sexually explicit material at the Dhyanapeetham Ashram. Nithyananda and the ashram management did their best to keep themselves immune from controversies by including several clauses in the same agreement.

A3, the most important clause, reads: "Volunteer (Vishwanathan) understands that the programme may involve the learning and practice of ancient tantric secrets associated with male and female ecstasy, including the use of sexual energy for increased intimacy/spiritual connection, pleasure, harmony and freedom. Volunteer understands that these activities could be physically and mentally challenging and may involve nudity, access to visual images, graphic visual depictions and description of nudity and sexual activity, close physical proximity and intimacy, verbal and written descriptions and audio sounds of sexually-oriented and erotic nature etc. By reading and signing this addendum, the volunteer irrevocably acknowledges that he/she is voluntarily giving his unconditional acceptance of such activities and discharges the leader and the foundation, and anyone else not specifically mentioned here but directly or indirectly involved in the organisation, management or conduct of any such programmes from any liability, direct or indirect arising from such activities".

30 CLIPPINGS

CID officials are examining the veracity of the video content obtained from a hard disk seized during its first raid. According to CID officials, the hard disk carries some 30 clippings, in which Nithyananda is seen with a number of female followers in compromising situations. "There are many girls in different clippings. Footages show Nithyananda with girls in different sexual positions," CID sources said.

Yet, he registered the complaint under the legal section numbers relating to rape charges! It was pre-planned with the police.

Because Lenin made no claims of rape at all, naturally there were no victims (even as per his own allegations and claims) of the alleged fabricated rape charges. Police was not the complainant so even they did not have any victims or proofs to substantiate the FAKE charges.
