Swami Nithyananda arrested in Himachal Pradesh

Mandi: Breaking News! Controversial godman Swami Nithyananda, was arrested at Solan in Himachala Pradesh today. A local court in Sriperumbudur in Tamil Nadu had earlier issued a non-bailable arrest warrant (NBW) against him on April 19.
Swami Nithyananda figured in a sleaze tape, involving Tamil actress Ranjitha. The video was telecasted by SUN News and then other TV channels. While Ranjitha admitted giving massage to Swami Nithyananda, she rejected allegations of sex with him.
Swami Nithyananda had resigned from key posts of his Bidadi Ashram in Karnataka following the controversy. Cases were registered against him in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka.

The non-bailable warrant was issued against him on the complaint of advocate and former RSS activist K Selvamani, who accused Nithyananda of hurting the religious sentiments of people and doing a malicious act by indulging in sex while donning the saffron attire and rudraksham.

Sriperumbudur District Munsif-cum-Judicial Magistrate S Gunasekhar had asked the Rama Nagar (Karnataka) SP to execute the NBW and form a special team to arrest him. Swami Nithyanada will now be taken to court in Solan or Simla for transit remand. Later, he will be brought to Karnataka or Tamil Nadu
