Self-styled godman Swami Nithyananda who has been found guilty in a sex scandal after a video footage, was arrested from his village 50 Km from Shimla, Himachal Pradesh.
“He was arrested from his village near Arki town,” said Solan police chief Prem Thakur. Karnataka based Nithyananda has been on run and out of the Police catch since 23rd march, 2010 when the Karnataka High Court rejected his plea for anticipatory bail and quashing of criminal cases against him.
The swami will be taken to local court in Solan or Shimla on transit remand and then he would be taken to Karnataka or Tamil Nadu by the police.
“Swami Nithyananda was arrested by the joint police teams of Himachal Pradesh and Bangalore from his house near Arki town in Sonal District when he was staying from past few days.” ADG Police I.D.Bhandari said.
Video footage exposed in early March this year showed Nithyananda in a Bed with women. The footage was exposed on different TV channels later on.
