Nithyananda disciples land-grabbing in Trichy, Tamil Nadu - TV9 News

[Translation]

Bidadi Nithyananda Swami’s disciples attempted to forcibly land-grab in Trichy (Tamil Nadu), however their attempt was unsuccessful. In Tamil Nadu, an ex-devotee had donated to Nithyananda 2 acres land in the village of Navalur  Kottapattu near Trichy. Nithyananda and his disciples tried to forcibly “land-grab” the property. But the land is disputed property since there is a case* pending in court re. the ownership of the land. However, yesterday Nithyananda disciples, more than 50 of them, tried to tried forcibly occupy the land. They tried to throw out the land owners from there, however the land owner refused to leave. 

Angry with the land owners, Nithyananda disciple Ms. Jhansi Rani filed a false complaint of molestation against the land owner. Based on Nithyananda disciple’s complaint, the police took the land owners into custody. 

The local villagers of Navalur  Kottapattu were outraged by these developments and stormed the local police station at Trichy. The villagers protested angrily against the harassment and false case against the landowners. When the protests became very strong the police released the land owners from custody. 

The land owners spoke after being released and said, “The property is currently being disputed in court. Acting against the court’s instructions Nithyananda’s disciples tried to forcibly grab the land , instead of waiting for the dispute to be resolved by the court. Nithyananda and his disciples are constantly harassing us and are now misusing the police also by filing such false cases.”

* - Brief background: The land owner and his entire family was deeply devoted to Nithyananda for several years, one of the family member was even a brahmachari of the Nithyananda ashram for many years. The family therefore deeply trusted Nithyananda as a genuine spiritual master and had donated the land in good faith. But after the truth about Nithyananda was exposed, the land owner and his family felt shocked & betrayed by the lies, deception and fraud, lost their faith in Nithyananda. Thereafter they left his mission and asked for the property donated in good faith to be returned. Nithyananda, the so-called “Avatar” and “Paramahamsa”, however refused to return the land, thereby forcing the land owner (ex-devotee) to approach the court for return of the property. 

This is not the first time such untoward incidents have happened, a similar attempt to landgrab and false police complaints to harass the land owners was also done in 2012, by Nithyananda and his disciples.

Similar to this case in Trichy, other ex-donors who donated to Nithyananda in good faith in Salem, Rajapalayam, Hyderabad, and even in USA, are facing similar harassment and false cases because they asked Nithyananda to return the fraudulently obtained gifts!
