The Bidadi police in Ramanagara district are probing alleged violation of rights of 47 children at an ashram of controversial godman Nithyananda.
The Karnataka State Commission for Protection of Child Rights (KCPCR) had lodged a complaint on September 19 after it was allegedly prevented from verifying the alleged violation.
The complaint also follows failed efforts by the KCPCR and the Women and Child Development Department to persuade the district authorities to check the plight of children at the ashram.
Gurneeth Tej, Director of the Women and Child Development Department, wrote to the Deputy Commissioner of Ramanagara district on July 2 to act against alleged illegal activities at the ashram and rescue the 47 children.
"The issue is very sensitive. You should take necessary action to rescue the children from the ashram on priority. Give proper directions to the Superintendent of Police," he wrote.
KCPCR chairman Umesh Aradhya said the commission received a complaint from an unknown person on July 21 that children at the Nithyananda Bidadi Ashram were not receiving proper education and were being subjected to mental harassment.
A team of the KCPCR headed by Shivaraje Gowda and Edward Thomas went to the ashram on July 29 to verify the allegations but were denied access.
"A woman disciple, who introduced herself as advocate Ragasudha, abused the KCPCR team," Aradhya said.
He said Ragasudha also rejected a KCPCR summons.
The KCPCR subsequently filed a written complaint with the Ramanagara Superintendent of Police Anupam Agarwal to take necessary action against the advocate for preventing the commission from discharge of its duty.
On Agarwal's orders the Bidadi police registered a case on September 19.
"Whenever we receive complaints of violation of child rights, we inspect such places. The Bidadi ashram should also allow our team to inspect the children. We would appreciate the ashram if there is no violation of child rights. But they are preventing us. We will do our duty with police protection soon," Aradhya said.

ReplyDeleteThat Ragsudha is completely brainwashed by this fraud Swami. My friend tells me that even when people had left him in 2010 she was always there to help him.But this is true that this Swami hypnotizes people who listen to his mesmerising lectures.
