The probe is in connection with a case charging him with indulging in unnatural sex with a youngster.
Self-styled godman Nithyananda on Wednesday sought a CBI probe into the additional chargesheet filed by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) in connection with a case charging him with indulging in unnatural sex with a youth.
Speaking to reporters at his ashram in Bidadi, Nithyananda claimed the additional chargesheet was based on a sexual harassment complaint made against him by a US-based individual. The complainant had alleged that Nithyananda had ‘brainwashed’ him into a homosexual relationship.
Nithyananda alleged that the chargesheet had omitted the statements of 15 witnesses who revealed details against conspirators.
On the arrest of Lenin, his former aide, by Tamil Nadu CB-CID recently, Nithyananda said his bail petition had been dismissed and he was currently in judicial custody in Chennai’s Puzhal Prison.
A close aide of Nithyananda had filed a criminal complaint against Lenin, who blew the lid off the alleged sleaze activities involving the godman and a film actress in March 2010, accusing him of criminal intimidation and threatening to air the clippings of the video.
Nithyananda claimed that four US-based forensic agencies had concluded that visuals showing him in a compromising position with the actress were ‘morphed.’
Nithyananda said, two days ago, a Bangalore city civil court, passed an interim injunction against nine TV news channels, restraining them from telecasting defamatory programmes against him.
The injunction, Nithyananda said, came in the wake of complaints registered by him for “continuously and deliberately,” replaying programmes defaming him.
