Guru held over sex scandal

<!-- by line --> <!-- end by line --> BANGALORE - AN INDIAN guru shown on television fondling two women in bed last month was arrested on Wednesday in northern India on charges including obscenity and hurting religious sentiments, police said. The long-haired Paramhamsa Nityananda, who claims to have devotees in 33 countries, and an aide Nithya Bhaktananda were nabbed in the northern state of Himachal Pradesh, senior police official D.V. Guruprasad told AFP. Nityananda has been charged with 'molestation, indulging in acts that are not in conformity with what they profess to be in religious and spiritual order, obscenity, criminal intimidation and hurting religious sentiments,' Mr Guruprasad said.

The 32-year-old, usually dressed in saffron robes, has been in the eye of a storm since the footage showing him in bed with two women devotees became public. Nityananda, who went missing afterwards, has maintained the pictures were doctored. The video clip triggered public anger that led to irate followers ransacking his ashram, 30km from India's southern software capital of Bangalore. The upscale retreat dotted with an ornate temple and a residential complex is popular with Indian and Western devotees. A bail plea filed in anticipation by lawyers on his behalf was rejected by a court in southern Karnataka state of which Bangalore is the capital. -- AFP

Nityananda said he was in the process of collecting details with regard to the charges and allegations levelled against him. The contents of his speech were telecast by a private Tamil Satellite Channel.

His statement comes a day after his former disciple Nithya Dharmananda alias K Lenin said he had shot the video purportedly showing Nityananda in a compromising position with an actress which was later telecast on TV channels.

Based on his complaint, police registered cases against Nityananda under various sections of the IPC including cheating, criminal intimidation and rape.

Police Commissioner T Rajendran had said all cases would be transferred to Bangalore since the incident had taken place at his ashram at Bidadi. Special teams had been formed to trace Nityananda.

The video aired on Tamil TV channels recently had caused a furore, with some Hindu groups and others protesting against Nityananda even as Karnataka government promised "very strict" action against him. The Ashram, however, has maintained that the video footage was morphed.
