Who is the innocent? The victim or the rapist?

For those who have not been following the Nithy case and not been up to date with news and all the details of the case, it is very likely that you are not aware of the latest news that a woman victim has complained against Nithy! Finally a woman had the courage to speak out about the atrocities, despite all the social stigma in India for a rape victim and risk to her personal safety. But the retaliation and smear campaign to humiliate and silence her has already begun from Nithy's side!!!! To make the readers more aware of the facts in this case, we are forced to point out some facts and truths that are being conveniently covered up with repeated lies from Nithy's camp! In a recent article posted on their blog, titled 'Guilty until proven innocent?' the rapist is being portrayed as a victim and the victim is being disposed off as irrelevant and judged as false!!! The court shall decide who is really innocent, the victim or the rapist, but you should know the many hidden facts and inside informations that may never reach the common person who may follow this case. How much longer will crocodile tears flow for Nithy?! When will his ashramite victims stand up for Dharma!!

Who is the innocent? The victim or the rapist?

If you have been tracking the Nithyananda Swami case, one question that can’t skip your mind is: What is this Indian legal system all about?

In the last hearing on Sep 13, the CID alleged there was a woman who lodged a rape complaint against Nithyananda.

Let us take a quick look at what really happened in this case.

A video was released showing Nithyananda and a Tamil actress allegedly in an intimate scene. The public opinion was cunningly turned against the young charismatic guru who happens to be the most popular spiritual guru today. This was the stage that was set… for what? For slapping a ridiculous police complaint (that got instantly turned into an FIR) against Nithyananda in some remote place in Tamilnadu. The video was used to turn the entire nation’s view, even the court’s view, on a ridiculous FIR.

The Indian legal system is finally working! If Nithy was innocent why did he run away for more than a month? Why did he hide when he knew that the Police were hunting him? Why did he have to be dragged like a common criminal from his hide out when he proclaims he is an avatara purusha?  Of course, he also claims when it suits him that he is no purusha but a napumsaka!

Nithy spoke to more than a hundred former followers all over the world with the same message. He said that the video that was telecast nationwide (of him engaging in sex with a woman) was all true. He said that he did it without lust. Doctors will have  a problem believing that a man can have an erection and engage in sex without lust.

This is the same case as his frontal lobe lighting up and dopamine pouring out. He is a classic schizophrenic. He is also a sex addict.

He apologized to all these people profusely and also cried seeking their understanding. Not one or two but hundreds. He told them, "Please tell all others that I acted without lust. I made a mistake, but it will not happen ever again".

Since Nithy himself admitted that his romps with the Andhra porn star were true, why is the FIR ridiculous. since when did the truth become ridiculous.

How else do you explain someone being kept in custody for 53 days without even a complainant just based on a ‘hearsay’ FIR? There are various charges on Nithyananda:

The most ridiculous charge was RAPE – who is the person who was raped? What is her identity? The FIR itself is based on an anonymous letter by some lady who claims to have been raped. When that didn’t hold in the court, the investigation authorities closed the issue saying the Tamil actress allegedly in the video has denied anything to do with the whole matter. (But they made everyone forget that there was no rape charge on her in the first place!)

But this is not the end of this ridiculous issue…

On the hearing on Sep 13, the court literally rapped the CID for not being able to produce a shred of evidence to support their case. It repeatedly observed that there was nothing to support the charges of 376 and 420. It directed investigation of 295 (A) and 377 and granted the time requested by the CID of 4 weeks to investigate.

Not 4 weeks, but 7 weeks the CID took to investigate. Don’t forget that every minute of extension of a case, the accused has to endure patiently. He has to reconcile that it is (only) his life that is being footballed. Thank god, Nithyananda is enlightened! It must be an easy thing!

At the end of 7 weeks, they come back on Sep 13 with absolutely no progress in the investigation. The hearing gets posted for Sep 21.

What happens?

What he committed was rape.. the victims know this. The public shall also know this soon, when it is proved in the courts! It is not just one or two victims as he first claimed, but dozens and some below the age of consent.These women were afraid to speak out about the inappropriate sex, as most women raised in India would be. On top of his misdeeds Nithy also told them that he could harm them through his tantric rites, which his willing sanyasi disciples reinforced. No one wanted to suffer more than they already did. Telling the Police was not an option for many of them, for reasons that are very obvious and clear in the Indian social context. Still, many came forward and spoke to the Police, but stopped at giving written or spoken evidence due to fear of retaliation, revenge and public humiliation not only for themselves, but for the respectable families they come from. The Police was working with its hands tied. They had to make sure that the evidence was water tight. Anyone who knows about our legal system would certify that 7 weeks is jet speed for such cases. Most drag on for years. Why is Nithy baba so special! 

The CID comes back and for the first 20 minutes of the session, they are grilled by the judge as to what evidence they have – if they don’t have any, he will have to quash the investigation.

Just at that time, suddenly, the DIG CID, Mr. Charan Reddy gets up and makes a statement that they have a statement of a woman who claims to have been raped by Nithyananda?!

And when was she raped?

In 2005!

So what was she doing for 5 years? Waiting for an opportunity to ride on someone else’s FIR?

If there was indeed such a serious charge of rape, if there was indeed a real victim, would the CID have been quiet on 3 major occasions when they should have offered the same to the court?

One should not forget that on 23^rd July, the Investigating Officer himself said that there was absolutely no evidence to support the charge of rape. On 31^st August a SLP was filed in the Supreme Court that the High Court is restricting the CID by a time-bound investigation! When it was actually the CID that asked for 4 weeks which was granted by the High Court and that actually extended to 7 weeks. Again in Ramanagara Sessions court there was an opportunity to highlight the change of condition. Finally on Sep 13, in the High Court hearing, after 20 minutes of drawing flak from the judge, the senior of the Investigating Officer stands up and makes a statement about some alleged woman alleging rape!

Who is the victim? When is the incident alleged? Where is the FIR? What investigation was done on the alleged complaint? Why was such an important piece of information not brought to the notice of 3 different courts on 3 separate occasions – Ramanagara Sessions court, High Court of Karnataka and Supreme Court of India?

This is nothing short of a misuse of power, a transgression of law, a clear case of harassment against an individual who happens to be a fast-growing person in popularity worldwide.

Anyone who has studied cases of rape in India would understand that all these allegations are coming straight from the rapist. this is the classic strategy of a rapist, by making the rape victim the criminal instead of the monster who raped. Nithy's men and women are doing a great job in trying the victim. Unfortunately this tactic has failed all over the world including India.

The pity here is that it is a woman who raises her voice against an other woman, who has been wronged. She should hang her head in shame. Perhaps she is ignorant (like most others) or is fully aware of the facts and truth, but sufficiently brainwashed to turn a blind eye to it, ignore all common sense and continue to dance to Nithy's tunes. But not everyone  is like her... atleast some victims are coming out of Nithy's heavy brainwashing and speaking out the truth.

A crime is a crime... no matter how much time has passed after the crime was committed! And a victim of a crime has the fundamental right to speak out about the crime whenever they are ready to speak out about it. Remember the case in Punjab, where a Police DIG has now been convicted after 12 years of the incident. That was molestation, not even rape, though the victim committed suicide. What do these people want? Would they like the victims to die so that Police and Courts can become silent?

These are no allegations. Police has submitted proof. The court will now study this and award punishment.

Who is behind all this? Is this what you get for being a religious practitioner in this country and that too of the supposed majority religion? Is this what you get for offering social services to the people at large? Is this what is meant by protection of the liberty and the fundamental constitutional rights of a citizen?

It is a shame… There are many questions staring at the face of every Indian who should simply hang his head in shame for the gross injustice that is being committed against a person. If we really feel for this great tradition of Bharat, it is high time we stood by the people who are here to share with us to share their wisdom for a better, beautiful life for all of us. We need to stand up strong against the evil forces that are conspiring to keep this country enslaved ideologically even though we got our political freedom over 50 years ago.

Who has to hang whose head in shame? Nithy and his cohorts are cavorting. Nithy is probably doing it behind the throne even now, while his followers are in meditation. He is sick and needs medical attention.

If one is from the majority religion, one has to have the responsibility to reform practitioners of that religion. Nithy is a shame on Hinduism. He must be stopped. The proof has been presented. The punishment must follow.

One woman had the courage to step forward. We hope that the rest will follow. Otherwise the guilt of their silence will follow them to their grave.

Nithy's men are already planning what to do when he goes in for a long long time. In fact they are counting the days to Nithy's counting the prison bars.
