The CID declined to divulge the information it has gathered from Nityananda alias Rajasekaran, who had an ashram (complex) on a 28-acre plot at Bidadi, about 30 km from here.
One of his devotees, Lenin Karuppanan, who also served as his driver, has claimed he had secretly filmed Nityananda in bed with two women in the Bidadi complex. Karuppanan surrendered to Tamil Nadu police after the telecast of the video tape on March 3.
Nityananda was on the run since the telecast. He was traced to Himachal Pradesh and arrested there on April 22 and brought to Bangalore the next day to stand trial in several criminal cases relating to obscenity, criminal intimidation, rape and hurting religious sentiments.
