Swami Nithyananda.

In yet another allegation against Swami Nithyananda, who came into the limelight for his alleged sex scandal a few years ago, a 40-year-old businessman and his wife from Thiruchengode filed a cheating complaint against him with the district collector on Wednesday.

T.A.S. Senkothavel, 40, and his wife Suganti, 35, said that they had run the IT firm Janani Infotech Company and were both disciples of the spiritual guru. “We admired his oration and yogic skills and agreed to set up a website for the ashram to lure prospective students for his yoga training course,” Senkothavel said.

Following approval from Nityananda, Senkothavel designed and developed a website promoting the yoga course that was being conducted at the organisation.

“During the time of building the website, they agreed to pay us Rs 4,730 for each membership got through the website. However, we have not got any money from the firm as yet,” the complainant said.
Senkothavel claimed that the ashram owed him approximately Rs 14 lakh for the work they had rendered.

“When we approached the ashram officials, they chased us away and refused to make any payment. Even the police whom we approached asked us not to pursue this case any further and said that they were too big to fight,” Senkothavel said.

“We were also threatened by the goons hired by Nityananda,” he alleged.Namakkal SP Sathyapriya told Deccan Chronicle that they had received the complaint from the Collector and a team headed by a DSP was making preliminary investigations.
