Game over for sex-tainted Nithya🔗

Santosh Kumar RB. BANGALORE

Self-styled godman Swami Paramahamsa Nithyananda, 32, was arrested from Himachal Pradesh's Solan district on Wednesday afternoon.

Nithyananda, aka Rajashekhara, had been absconding since television news channels aired a video clip on March 2, featuring him in a compromising position with an actress.

The tainted swami was arrested in a joint operation by the Karnataka criminal investigation department (CID) and Himachal Pradesh police from his hideout at Mamling village in Akri police station limits.

Swami's disciple Nithya Bhaktananda aka Gopal Seelam Reddy was also arrested, besides two other associates.

Deputy inspector-general of police KSR Charan Reddy said the swami and Reddy were found with three other men. "Indian currency worth Rs3 lakh, US$7,000 (approx-imately Rs3.1 lakh), some travellers cheques and a laptop were seized from them," he said.

"The spiritual leader will be brought to the city by air on Thursday. He will be produced before the Ramanagaram district court," superintendent of police (CID) KN Yogappa said.

The chief judicial magistrate in Shimla granted their four-day transit remand to Karnataka police. A CID team led by deputy superintendents of police Chandrashekhara Hoskeri and MS Hussein had left Bangalore for Hi-machal last Sunday.

Following the scandal, the god-man relinquished all the positions held at the Paramahamsa Nithyananda Dhyanapeetham in Bidadi. He had then said he was embarking on a "spiritual seclusion", which the law viewed as "absconding."

The Chennai police, who had registered cases against the swami on complaints by former Nithya devotee Karuppa Lenin of Salem, transferred the case to the Ramanagaram police on March 13, since the alleged incidents occurred at the Bidadi ashram.

It was a case of the State bullying an individual, conspiring against him, victimizing him through false complaints, illegally arresting and torturing with intent to eliminate.

As His Divine Holiness was moved in the mob, a policeman was covering His face with a maroon book. His Divine Holiness kept warding it off. However the State police wanted to position Him as a terrorist whose face is usually covered in public, which in India is considered admission of guilt. This footage was repeatedly telecast in mainstream media for over 160 hours, to etch His image as a terrorist in the minds of people, to justify further atrocities that were waiting to be done to Him.

Mob lynching continues at Bengaluru Airport

Airport security protocol doesn't allow visitors inside the airport beyond limits. But an unprecedented mob gathered at the Bengaluru airport, inside the restricted area, when His Divine Holiness was brought out by the officials. The moment His Divine Holiness reached the terminal, the policemen surrounded Him in a square formation to present Him as a dangerous criminal being taken for execution. The media reiterated this drama.

The mob of assassins was however left to maul around Him, grab Him and execute any form of mob lynching on Him. It was also evident that there would be only anonymity surrounding any attack in the whole scene. That is the way mob lynches are planned: where police, media and politicians appear helpless while the mob lynches, and anonymity automatically shrouds the real attacker in the chaos of the mob. Those watching on their television screens worldwide could not understand the blatant compromise of security.

How was such a mob allowed inside the restricted area, while on normal days, such tight security and public safety was maintained by security personnel there?

Disciples around the world watched with sheer horror and disbelief, the moving scene of their Guru in utter vulnerability to a life-attack at any moment, in addition to making Him a public spectacle for maximum intimidation. The Police pretended to control the crowd. A huge and planned security lapse was visible.

Slipper and Acid egg thrown at His Divine Holiness outside Bengaluru Airport

As His Divine Holiness was dragged and pushed towards the police vehicle, several sharp objects, shards of glass and a foot slipper was thrown at Him. A lethal acid egg was flung on His Divine Holiness just as He was about to get inside the vehicle. When He moved the car door and lowered His head to get inside, the egg bounced off the door and fell to the ground, breaking and spreading its poisonous contents on the road. The media showed the slipper being hurled but suppressed the acid-egg attack. It went without publicity and without justice.

His Divine Holiness was taken into direct judicial (CID) custody for the first 8 days in the pretext of investigation.
