Odeal D'Souza BANGALORE

The Karnataka high court has indicated that it would quash the two First Information Reports (FIRs) filed against godman Swami Paramahamsa Nithyananda in Bidadi police station if the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) failed to chargesheet him within four weeks.

The indication came after justice Arali Nagaraj on Friday issued an ultimatum to the CID to either file the chargesheet or a final report in the matter within four weeks.

The judge was hearing the petition filed by Nithyananda seeking the quashing of the two FIRs, including one on rape.

The matter has been posted to August 20 for final hearing.

Investigating officer KN Yogappa submitted that he was yet to chargesheet the godman as he could not collect evidence for various offences registered against the swami.

The government counsel further submitted to the court that they needed some time to record statements of Nithya Vimalananda and Nithya Gopika, both of whom were residing abroad, to ascertain if the godman had committed any offence under Section 377 of IPC on unnatural sex. One of the two was likely to arrive in India soon, the court was informed.

Yogappa submitted that no statement could be recorded for offences under Section 376 of IPC on rape as Tamil actor Ranjitha, whose alleged sleaze acts with self-styled godman Nithyananda triggered off a public outcry, has denied any sexual relations with him and termed the video footage aired by television channels as "morphed".

In a statement to the CID, Ranjitha rejected charges of sexual harassment by Nithyananda and said the woman shown on the video was not her. She denied any sexual relations with the swami and said that she had "only visited Nithyananda's room once or twice".

Yogappa told the court that he had sought permission from the Centre to rush two officers abroad in connection with the probe, and this would require time.

The judge said though enough evidence had been collected for offences under Sections 295A and 506 IPC, material was yet to be collected under the other two sections slapped against the godman.

Thanks to tardy investigation, Swami Nithyananda might find himself free of some charges

(Left) : The High Court was highly displeased by the State Police and was about to quash the case on the lack of merit. The Hon'ble Court said, "Under guise of suspicion how long can you (Police) torture a person mentally."

17 August 2010: The mastermind S.Gurumurthy - chief strategist for the Hindu extremist forces RSS (Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh) and BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party), brought Aarthi Rao to make a FAKE rape allegation in the form of “a witness-statement” (through an email to the State Police!) to the original complaint made by Lenin. Thus the FAKE case was kept alive for almost a decade more!

During 2011, Extremist Hindu Forces, used Douglas MacKellor, a volunteer in the organisation of His Divine Holiness and a fringe element in the conspiracy, to file a series of FAKE complaints and cases in the United States.

First, Douglas submitted fabricated false complaints to the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation). FBI warned Douglas not to show up again with his FAKE documents, and they stopped picking up his calls.

Then, Douglas made false reports to the U.S. ICE (United States Immigrations and Customs Enforcement) hotline. The U.S. ICE blacklisted Douglas and stopped responding to him.

After that Douglas approached the SEC (U.S. Security Exchange Commission), making some FAKE claims about a non-existent entity. The U.S. SEC thoroughly investigated and closed the fake complaint. They stopped returning Douglas’ phone calls where he would try to pressurize them reopen investigation.

Douglas also approached the IRS (Internal Revenue Service), asking them to investigate registered nonprofit organizations of His Divine Holiness in the US. IRS initiate inquiries over the organizations of His Divine Holiness and notified Douglas that his claims were fake and that it had closed the inquiry.

Since FBI, ICE, SEC did not budge to Douglas’ undue demands of registering false cases against His Divine Holiness, he tried to file false criminal complaints of rape (with the help of Aarthi Rao) to the California Attorney General. Eventually Aarthi Rao, was penalized $1/2 Million USD for her false public statements. Douglas continued his attacks. Douglas even asked Chief Investigator of the Ohio Attorney General and Attorney General of the U.S. Department of Justice, to unlawfully influence agencies such as the FBI and U.S. ICE, but all of them dismissed Douglas’ false allegations.

Amidst the series of these attacks happening in the US, the people who were in the monasteries, centers and temples in India were attacked by State Police and Mafia.
