CHENNAI: Lenin Karuppan, whose secretly filmed videos exposed the unholy side of self-proclaimed godman Nithyananda’s ashram life, has two more sets of CDs that could further embarrass his former guru.
In an exclusive interview to Deccan Herald at an undisclosed location here, Karuppan, also known as Dharmananda, claimed that besides the March 2 video that showed Nithyananda spending some intimate moments with a Tamil actress, he was in possession of two other CD sets whose contents are “equally, if not more explosive.”
Karuppan claimed he had enough evidence of widespread sex acts of Nithyananda with male and female ashramites. “I will furnish them to the police and courts as and when required,” he said emphatically.
Aware of the existence of these CDs, according to Karuppan, Nithyananda was continuously calling him on his cell phone “to negotiate and plead with him not to go public with the other two CDs”.
Deccan Herald has independent confirmation that Nithyananda as well as his secretary in India, Pranananda, have repeatedly called intermediaries to convey to Karuppan not make the videos public.
Team in Chennai
It is learnt that a team of Karnataka police CID officers has been camping in Chennai for the past few days to question Karuppan. The officers have questioned him about the sting operation that he mounted on Nithyananda.
They have also gathered information from him about the one CD that is already in public domain and the two that remain secret.
Karuppan has also shared with them taped telephone conversations in which Nithyananda literally pleaded with him to refrain from going public with explicit footages of his dalliance with women.
Copies of the transcripts of those conversations and letters Nithyananda wrote to Karuppan are available with Deccan Herald.
Explaining the modus operandi of his sting operation, Karuppan said he had planted three cameras at three different locations inside the Bidadi ashram premises, including one in Nithyananda’s bedroom, on December 23, 24, and 25, 2009. Continued on Page 7
Deccan Herald, 3rd April 2010 sides Lenin Karuppan, the habitual sex offender and falsely claims 2 more CD under his sleeve which never came out
- The reporter claims that Lenin, the “whistleblower” Lenin of this article has two more CDs. Reporter has made no attempt to research the truth or verify content before publishing FACT: Lenin Karuppan himself responded to this article that he did not say that and he was misquoted. Despite this, Deccan Herald audaciously publicized a manipulated news. This may look like an incident in isolation however it is a planned conspiracy to blow a poisonous defamation.
- Adding on, the magnitude of air time and space which got used by Mainstream Media to inhumanly sabotage a spiritually powerful Hindu Guru speaks volumes about the gravity of threat which Sanatana Hindu Dharma (Hinduism) faces today. In a country where fearless journalism and the freedom of the press has been so highly valued, it is unfortunate that Mainstream Media is facilitator in the execution of the ruthless crimes against Hindu Gurus and has become an instrument to persecute them.
Deccan Herald relentlessly tarnished and decimated the public image of His Divine Holiness, isolating Him from His followers. Coming as a threat to His very safety, Article 3 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) is violated.
