WHAT THE LAW SAYS

• Innocent until proven guilty is a human right ensured by the Indian law

As per national and well established international law, a person is assumed innocent until proven otherwise :

Presumption of innocence is a human right as envisaged under Article 14(2) of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.[1]
In Article 11(1) of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948) it is stated :- “Everyone charged with a penal offence has the right to be presumed innocent until proved guilty according to law.”[2]
The Supreme Court in State v. M. Krishna Mohan[3] observed that, "presumption of innocence is a human right".
The Supreme Court in Sunil Kumar Sambhudayal Gupta (Dr.) v. State of Maharashtra[4] indicated the theory of innocence, which is the basis of our criminal jurisprudence in the following words:

"39. Every accused is presumed to be innocent unless his guilt is proved. The presumption of innocence is a human right. Subject to the statutory exceptions, the said principle forms the basis of criminal jurisprudence in India."

• Constitution of India guarantees fair trial

Indian Constitution through its Article 21 renders the fair trial a part of life and personal liberty.
The Supreme Court in the case of Rattiaram v. State of Madhya Pradesh, ( AIR 2012 SC 1485), observed that the

“... the fair trial is the heart of criminal jurisprudence. A fair trial is a fundamental right which flows from article 21 of the Constitution. Denial of the fair trial is the denial of human rights …”

The Court in Mohd. Hussain @ Julfikar Ali v. The State (Govt. Of Nct),Criminal Appeal No. 1091 of 2006, stated that

“... every person, therefore, has a right to a fair trial by a competent court in the spirit of the right to life and personal liberty. Thus, right to a fair trial being a fundamental right cannot be refused to any person by the virtue of Constitution ..”

In Zahira Habibullah Sheikh v. State of Gujarat, (2005) 2 SCC (Jour) 75, the Supreme Court explained that a

“fair trial obviously would mean a trial before an impartial Judge, a fair prosecutor and atmosphere of judicial calm. Fair trial means a trial in which bias or prejudice for or against the accused, the witnesses, or the cause which is being tried is eliminated.”

In Article 8 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948) it is stated :Everyone has the right to an effective remedy by the competent national tribunals for acts violating the fundamental rights granted him by the constitution or by law.
In Article 10 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948) it is stated :- “Everyone is entitled in full equality to a fair and public hearing by an independent and impartial tribunal, in the determination of his rights and obligations and of any criminal charge against him.
In Article 11(1) of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948) it is stated :- “Everyone charged with a penal offence has the right to be presumed innocent until proved guilty according to law in a public trial at which he has had all the guarantees necessary for his defence.

• Atmosphere of judicial calm where elimination of bias and prejudice is necessary for fair trial

In Zahira Habibullah Sheikh v. State of Gujarat, (2005) 2 SCC (Jour) 75, the Supreme Court explained that a

In Article 10 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948) it is stated :- “Everyone is entitled in full equality to a fair and public hearing by an independent and impartial tribunal, in the determination of his rights and obligations and of any criminal charge against him..

• Trial by media is very antithesis of rule of law - Supreme Court observed

In State of Maharashtra vs. Rajendra Jawanmal Gandhi, 1997 (8) SCC 386, the Supreme Court observed:

“There is a procedure established by law governing the conduct of trial of a person accused of an offence. A trial by press, electronic media or public agitation is very antithesis of rule of law. It can well lead to miscarriage of justice. A judge has to guard himself against any such pressure and is to be guided strictly by rules of law. If he finds the person guilty of an offence he is then to address himself to the question of sentence to be awarded to him in accordance with the provisions of law.”

In Article 11(1) of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948) it is stated :- “Everyone charged with a penal offence has the right to be presumed innocent until proved guilty according to law in a public trial at which he has had all the guarantees necessary for his defence.

• Supreme Court cautions magazine for interfering with administration of justice

The judiciary has been critical of the overactive and prejudicial reporting by the media. In the Labour Liberation Front case, Justice L. Narasimha Reddy lamented the “abysmal levels to which the norms of journalism have drifted.” In M.P. Lohia v. State of West Bengal, AIR 2005 SC 790, the Supreme Court cautioned the publisher, editor and journalist of a magazine that had reported the facts of a case that was sub-judice, thus “interfering with the administration of justice.”

• Judges should not be swayed by public opinion - cautions CJI Y K Sabharwal

On November 3, 2006, former chief justice of India Y K Sabharwal expressed concern over the recent trend of the media conducting ‘trial’ of cases before courts pronounce judgments, and cautioned:

“According to law an accused is presumed to be innocent till proved guilty in a court of law, and is entitled to a fair trial. So, it is legitimate to demand that nobody can be allowed to prejudge or prejudice one’s case? Why should judges be swayed by public opinion?”

• No editor has a right to assume the role of investigator or try to prejudice the Court against any person - Oudh High Court

In Dm v. MA Hamid Ali Gardish, AIR 1940 Oudh 137, (Para 137C2)

Article in newspaper likely to prejudice course of justice relating to pending case amounts to contempt of Court. The special privilege of the press is a time-worn fallacy, and the sooner the misconception that the press is not accountable to the law is removed the better it will be. No editor has a right to assume the role of investigator or try to prejudice the Court against any person. Writing and publishing an article in a newspaper likely to prejudice the course of justice relating to a pending case amounts to contempt of Court.

• Trial by newspapers, when a trial by one of the regular tribunals of the country is going on, must be prevented - observes Supreme Court

In Saibal Kumar Gupta and Ors. v. B.K. Sen and Anr, AIR 1961 SC 633. It was held by the Supreme Court that:

“No doubt it would be mischievous for a newspaper to systematically conduct an independent investigation into a crime for which a man has been arrested and to publish the results of that investigation. This is because trial by newspapers, when a trial by one of the regular tribunals of the country is going on, must be prevented. The basis for this view is that such action on the part of a newspaper tends to interfere with the course of justice whether the investigation tends to prejudice the accused or the prosecution.”

• When litigation is pending before a Court, no one shall comment on it in such a way there is a real and substantial danger of prejudice to the trial of the action - observes High Court of AP

The law as to interference with the due course of justice has been well stated by the chief Justice Gopal Rao Ekkbote of Andhra Pradesh High Court in the case of Y.V. Hanumantha Rao v. K.R. Pattabhiram and Anr, AIR1975 AP 30, where in it was observed by the learned judge that:

“ …… When litigation is pending before a Court, no one shall comment on it in such a way there is a real and substantial danger of prejudice to the trial of the action, as for instance by influence on the Judge, the witnesses or by prejudicing mankind in general against a party to the cause. Even if the person making the comment honestly believes it to be true, still it is a contempt of Court if he prejudices the truth before it is ascertained in the proceedings …… ”

• 200th Law Commission Report - recommends to debar media from reporting anything prejudicial to the rights of the accused

In the interest of justice and commission of a fair trial (which is guaranteed by the Constitution of India), the Law Commission in its 200th report, Trial by Media: Free Speech versus Fair Trial Under Criminal Procedure (Amendments to the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971), has recommended a law to debar the media from reporting anything prejudicial to the rights of the accused in criminal cases, from the time of arrest to investigation and trial. The commission has said,

“Today there is feeling that in view of the extensive use of the television and cable services, the whole pattern of publication of news has changed and several such publications are likely to have a prejudicial impact on the suspects, accused, witnesses and even judges and in general on the administration of justice”.

• Jurists should be in no doubt that the media’s concerns are entertainment, money-making and, ultimately, the assertion of the media’s power - observes a U.S. Court of Appeals

A number of decisions of the U.S Supreme Court confirm the potential dangerous impact the media could have upon trials. In the case of Billie Sol Estes v Texas 381 US 532 (1965), the U.S. Supreme Court set aside the conviction of a Texas financier for denial of his constitutional rights of due process of law as during the pre-trial hearing extensive and obtrusive television coverage took place. The Court laid down a rule that televising of notorious criminal trials is indeed prohibited by the “Due process of Law” clause of Amendment Fourteen.

In another case of Dr.Samuel H. Sheppard v Maxwell 346 F.2d 707 (1965), the Court held that prejudicial publicity had denied him a fair trial. Referring to the televised trials of Michael Jackson and O.J.Simpson, Justice Michael Kirby stated:

“The judiciary which becomes caught up in such entertainment, by the public televising of its process, will struggle (sometimes successfully, sometimes not) to maintain the dignity and justice that is the accused’s due. But these are not the media’s concerns. Jurists should be in no doubt that the media’s concerns are entertainment, money-making and, ultimately, the assertion of the media’s power.”

• Judges are humans and are affected by media trial - observes England and Wales Court of Appeals

In England too, the House of Lords in the celebrated case of Attorney General vs. British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), [1981] AC 303, has agreed that media trials affect the judges despite the claim of judicial superiority over human frailty and it was observed that a man may not be able to put that which he has seen, heard or read entirely out of his mind and that he may be subconsciously affected by it. The Courts and Tribunals have been specially set up to deal with the cases and they have expertise to decide the matters according to the procedure established by the law. Media’s trial is just like awarding sentence before giving the verdict at the first instance. The court held that it is important to understand that any other authority cannot usurp the functions of the courts in a civilized society.

• Pseudo trials in the news media might in the long run have nefarious consequences for the acceptance of the courts as the proper forum for the settlement of legal disputes - observes European Court of Human Rights

European Court of Human Rights, Sunday Times v. UK (No. 1) (1979-80) 2 EHRR 245, para. 64

“Again it cannot be excluded that the public becoming accustomed to the regular spectacle of pseudo trials in the news media might in the long run have nefarious consequences for the acceptance of the courts as the proper forum for the settlement of legal disputes.”

WHAT THE MEDIA DID

• Media thinks they can write anything and get away - CJI Dipak Misra

15 March 2018 , NDTV - The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of India Dipak Misra sharply criticised the electronic media, he reportedly said, “Electronic media can't think they become Popes overnight.” https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/electronic-media-cant-think-they-become-popes-overnight-chief-justice-1824145

• Indian Media house defames and insults a retired Supreme Court Judge

On September 10, 2008, Times Now had aired a false news and there was a suit for Rs. 100 crore (equivalent to $15 Million USD) against the TV channel for defaming a retired Judge. The channel tried to escalate the matter to Supreme Court and appealed to save the channel from Bombay High Court order of paying Rs. 20 crore cash deposit and Rs. 80 crore bank guarantee. The Supreme Court denied it. The channel had made false allegations against the judge. The judge had written several letters informing the channel of the same and asking it to fix their error. The channel head, Arnab Goswami did not respond for a long time. Instead of apologizing to the judge, Arnab staged a bigger insult. Arnab invited the judge for a meeting, but Arnab himself failed to show up. Arnab instead sent a letter, two days before the appointed date, claiming he had to undergo a surgery. However Arnab Goswami continued to anchor his daily show as usual — seemingly unimpaired by claimed medical procedure. The judge having observed this attitude filed a suit against the channel. In-spite of this, the channel neither promptly apologized, nor took no action against Arnab Goswami. The huge amount of Rs. 100 crore (Rs. 1 billion INR) did not cause any change in the attitude of neither the channel nor the head of the channel. On May 2018, Arnab Goswami, chief of Republic TV was booked for abetting suicide of a 53-year-old interior designer Anvay Naik states that he was forced to commit suicide as he was not paid Rs. 5.4 crore dues to him.

• High Court of Karnataka observes that the attacks and allegations on character of SPH Bhagavan Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam were subsidized (funded) by the media

Although the Indian law and customary international law and treaties, unanimously declare a presumption of innocence of an accused until proven guilty, this fundamental human right of SPH Bhagavan Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam and His disciples have been repeatedly targeted and denied for over ten years because of undue influence and misinformation by powerful state funded media houses due to vested interests. In 2010 in the hearing of bail for SPH Bhagavan Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam the High Court of Karnataka described this as - subsidized coverage of the matter by the media.

In March 2010, a false case of rape was filed against SPH Bhagavan Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam. There was no rape victim mentioned in the complaint, however, SPH Bhagavan Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam was kept under police custody for 53-days. During these 53-days :

Through several articles, television reports, the media continuously claimed that multiple women, some even going to the extent of claiming 100, had been raped.
The media continuously claimed that the Police were the source of information.
However, after 53-days of this, investigating and questioning more than hundred devotees and disciples and people and despite bribed solicitations for false victims in paid media houses ,the police could not find any victim of rape! The police finally submitted a memo in the court, claiming they had no evidence or material whatsoever to establish any claims of rape against The Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism.

The Hon’ble High Court of Karnataka granted bail to SPH Bhagavan Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam in its order to Crl. P. 2328/2010 dated 11 June 2010. In this order the Hon’ble High Court of Karnataka observed the undue media influence against SPH Bhagavan Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam, as it mentioned in point number 13 (page number 12) :

“However, it is not a matter for the court to discuss since the issue was subsidized by the media by telecasting the incident and a question mark is created amongst the public as regard to the image of Sanyasi or Swamiji.”

Karnataka High Court official website link to the Order -

http://judgmenthck.kar.nic.in/judgments/bitstream/123456789/388329/1/CRLP2328-10-11-06-2010.pdf , alternate link - https://indiankanoon.org/doc/60167930/

What does it mean that the issue was subsidized by the media ?

As per the Oxford dictionary definition of the word subsidy, to give subsidy or to subsidize means to give or contribute a sum of money to support an industry or business to keep the price of its product or service low. What the High Court observed was that the attacks and allegations on character of SPH Bhagavan Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam was funded by the media not any complainer or witness who was part of the actual case. The media had no obligation to make true claims, was under no declaration of any oath in any court of law, and could anytime retract from any of its claims and had no locus standi in the court.

HOW THE COURT DID NOT ALLOW MEDIA TO SWAY ITSELF

• High Court of Karnataka observes, “guise of suspicion” was used to continuously torture and deny of right to life of SPH Bhagavan Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam

In 2010, the prosecution continuously appealed against the bail granted to SPH Bhagavan Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam. The Hon’ble High Court of Karnataka, however pulled up the Police CID and reportedly observed, “Under the guise of suspicion, how long can you (police) torture a person mentally”, (as reported by Deccan Chronicle, on 22 September 2010, Page 3).

In Article 8 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948) it is stated :Everyone has the right to an effective remedy by the competent national tribunals for acts violating the fundamental rights granted him by the constitution or by law.

• High Court of Karnataka observes, “Just based on the allegation, the liberty of person cannot be denied.”

As the Hon’ble court had observed and mentioned while granting bail to SPH Bhagavan Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam in 2010, in it’s order Crl. P. 2328/2010 dated 11 June 2010, in point number 11, page 11 -

“Under Article 21 of the Constitution of India, no person would be denied of right to life and personal liberty except in accordance with law.”

“Just based on the allegation, the liberty of person cannot be denied.”

Karnataka High Court official website link to the Order -

http://judgmenthck.kar.nic.in/judgments/bitstream/123456789/388329/1/CRLP2328-10-11-06-2010.pdf , alternate link - https://indiankanoon.org/doc/60167930/

A series of false allegations have been made, and attempts have been made to support these false allegations further with another set of false allegations made by the media. The Prosecution, having taken much more than a month, had enough time to collect material and submit to the court. In the guise of suspicion, and “based on allegation”, as the Hon’ble High Court pointed out, “liberty of person cannot be denied”.

INDIAN MEDIA IS THE MOST CORRUPT

• Media publishes false and paid news - Election Commission of India Reports

The Election Commission is reported to have identified more than 1,400 cases of paid news between 2009 and 2013, during which elections were held in 17 states of India.[1][2]

The rise of ‘Paid News’, the report says, “has undermined the essence of a democratic process.” But the document, submitted to the Lok Sabha on May 6, 2013, generated little media coverage.[3] The committee report, noting the issue of paid news has been a feature of the media landscape since the 2009 national election, said it was “astonishing that a large section of the media is completely silent on this malpractice“.

• News Reports are biased to cause commercial benefits - SEBI Reports

Complete original report is accessible from here: http://www.indiatogether.org/uploads/document/document_upload/2146/PCIsc-intro.pdf

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) is the regulator for the securities market in India. It was established in the year 1988 and given statutory powers on 30 January 1992 through the SEBI Act, 1992. The SEBI in a letter in context of Press Council Report on paid-news warned that

“Private Treaties may lead to commercialisation of news reports since the same would be based on the subscription and advertising agreement entered into between the Media group and the company. Biased and imbalanced reporting may lead to inaccurate perceptions of the companies which are the beneficiaries of such private treaties.”

• Indian Income Tax department Report on role of Media in brokering deals in 2G spectrum scam which caused a loss of Rs. 1,70,000,00,00,000 (Rs. 1.7 trillion INR) to the public exchequer

The Radia tapes controversy relates to the telephone conversations between Nira Radia, an influence peddler and with senior journalists, taped by the Indian Income Tax Department in 2008–09.

After getting authorization from the Home Ministry, the Indian Income Tax department[1] tapped Radia’s phone lines for 300 days[2] in 2008–2009 as part of their investigations into possible money laundering, restricted financial practices, and tax evasion.

In November 2010, OPEN magazine[3] carried a story which reported transcripts of some of the telephone conversations of Nira Radia with senior journalists, many of whom have denied the allegations.[4] The Central Bureau of Investigation has announced that they have 5,851 recordings of phone conversations by Radia, some of which outline Radia’s attempts to broker deals in relation to the 2G spectrum sale.[5] The tapes appear to demonstrate how Radia attempted to use some media persons to influence the government decisions.[6]

Media blackout and reactions in social media: The news gained prominence following sustained pressure on social networking sites Twitter[7][8] and Facebook[9] against an attempted blackout orchestrated by many prominent Indian TV channels and newspapers.[10][11][12]

• Self Regulation by media has failed to stop false and paid news - PCI Reports

Paid news undermining democracy: Press Council report

https://www.thehindu.com/opinion/columns/sainath/Paid-news-undermining-democracy-Press-Council-report/article16371596.ece

Throughout 2009 and even today, the Press Council of India, had been receiving several complaints from citizens of India about the menace of paid news. The Press Council of India compiled its report for the next four years and in 2013 presented its report. In 2013, the Press Council of India report was submitted to Parliament by the Standing Committee on Information Technology.

The report, which points out that self-regulation by India’s media has failed to stop the practice of paid news, has some eye-catching recommendations. It suggests a more-powerful regulator and stiffer penalties, including criminal charges, possibly leading to imprisonment, for those who accept payment for news.

WHO IS SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM - THE REAL TRUTH

The Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism (SPH), Jagatguru Mahasannidhanam (JGM), His Divine Holiness (HDH) BHAGAVAN NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM born 2 January 1978 is the reviver of KAILASA– the ancient enlightened civilization, the great cosmic border-less Hindu nation. HDH is the 1008th Incarnation of Paramashiva as per Hinduism, recognized by His predecessors who are enlightened masters and adepts. HDH has made the Science of Power manifestation, Yoga and temple based universities for humanity.

INSTANCES OF MEDIA HATE SPEECH AND FALSE ALLEGATIONS TO DERAIL JUSTICE - AUGUST 2003 TO 2021

• FAKE NEWS & HATE SPEECH - 2003

MEDIA DEFAMATION, LIES AND HEARSAY:

On 17th August 2003, Junior Vikatan - Tamil Yellow Journal hired by the State Government - published the first article spreading misinformation and started the political persecution of SPH JGM Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam.

• FAKE NEWS & HATE SPEECH - 2008

MEDIA DEFAMATION, LIES AND HEARSAY:

Nakkheeran Gopal is a notorious professional criminal who is hired by the State Government as a political power broker, blackmailer and extortionist. Nakkheeran is most notorious for negotiating a deal with the State Government of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu with the terrorist Veerappan for the release of cinema actor Rajkumar.

Nakkheeran Gopal has (i) 211 defamation cases, 260 police complaints against him, (iii) 3 murder charges and (iv) 2 kidnapping charges against him, (v) Nakkheeran Gopal runs a Tamil yellow-tabloid, famous for it's erotic politically motivated content. (vi) Nakkheeran and his team had conspired and created a false murder case on Kanchi Shankaracharya Jayendra Saraswathi to collapse Kanchi mutt (monastery).

In a similar way but much larger scale false cases were pressed against SPH JGM Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam for which in 2008 Nakkheeran Gopal was hired by the local political power centers, for extortion, blackmail and creation of hate propaganda against SPH JGM Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam. Since 2008 Nakkeeran

Created voluminous (over 40 per year) obscene media content to weaponize the public image of SPH JGM Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam.
Published explicit morphed pictures with false pornographic articles directly targeting women disciples and key supporters, thus socially isolating SPH .
Fabricated sleazy pornograhic photographs using basic photo editing techniques.
Weaponized the character of women linking them with SPH JGM Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam in an obscene and derogatory way

Feb 20, 2008 : Nakkheeran published the first ever defamatory article
“All college students, Dance well” making various allegations and calling names against SPH like cheat, hypnotist, promising false healing miracles, terrorist, etc.

TRUTH :

Nakkheeran targeted Hindu monks and their pre-monastic families by publishing voluminous amounts of false vulgar yellow journals against them. So much was the negative effect, that female monks were denied basic human rights, fair trial, their rights to justice and protection from sexual abuse, even when they were raped and went to police to file complaints, they were shunned and ridiculed by police and their complaints were never even accepted.

RAPE AND PUBLIC BROADCAST OF MOLESTATION OF FEMALE SANNYASINI (MONK) ON NATIONAL TELEVSION

In June 2012, Ma Nithya Jnanatmananda was surrounded by five men. One man pulled at her sari and then they shoved her around to each other ravishing her completely. She was left in her blouse and in-skirt. They gang-raped her. The police refused to investigate the complaint on this heinous crime.

FIR : 300/2012

Case Status : Without any investigation and filing any chargesheet, the case was maliciously dropped by the police. The police verbally cited Sun TV as a basis for denying human rights and basic protection to female monks, calling Hindu monk - Ma Nithya Jnanatmananda - “unworthy of police protection, fit for being rape”.

There are several other victims of Nakkheeran, female monks who were raped and denied of human rights, protection from sexual abuse, and stripped of all their dignity as a human being. To name a few - (i) Ma Nithyananda Mayi, (ii) Ma Nithya Preetananda, (iii) Ma Nithya Supriyananda, (iv) Ma Nithya Atmapriya, (v) Ma Nithya Gopikananda, (vi) Ma Nithya Jyothikananda, etc.

• FAKE NEWS & HATE SPEECH - 2010 Doctored Video

MEDIA DEFAMATION, LIES AND HEARSAY:

In an explosive planned continuation of the misinformation, the State owned Sun Television Network telecasted virally a doctored video showing SPH with an actress. This was spread across multiple national channels and print and social media in the next few days leading to a cumulative continuous telecast of 1.56 years till 2014. The misinformation included lies that SPH was arrested though he was not, thereby making the Court deny SPH anticipatory bail.

TRUTH :

The video being doctored was proved in multiple ways:

The actress and SPH both gave interviews explaining the video being doctored
The then COO of Sun TV, Hansraj Saxena, confessed on open television the modus operandi of the doctored video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fwXZgAY2jg) as well as on sworn affidavit to USA Court

If these news clips were played one after another, they would amount to continuously running for more than 14,000 hours or 1.5 years !

Using hate speech, the media incited the society to turn highly antagonistic towards SPH Bhagavan Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam all the while when media and mafia elements executed various crimes against SPH Bhagavan Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam and His disciples. Some of these crimes have been shown in the next sections.

• MEDIA CRIME AGAINST WOMAN - Willful disobedience to High Court order and continuous character assassination and hate speech against woman disciples of SPH Sri Nithyananda Paramshivam

On March 2nd 2010, a morphed video came on the internet and television media, with my morphed images as part of the footage. It was a huge attack on dignity of Ma Ranjitha Menon (Ma Nithya AnandaMayi Swami), and attempted to destroy her public image completely.
The Hon’ble Karnataka High Court, Bangalore Bench, issued two orders restrain the broadcast and printing of the morphed footage in it’s Orders on W.P. 7767/2010 (Refer Annexure-A) & W.P. 8619/2011.
Based on this order a circular was issued from the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting on this matter to NBSA and BCCC.
On the similar attempt to misrepresent my public image, BCCC also delivered on 2nd September 2013 against a few channels, ordering them to apologize on Television with a running scrolling apology.
In this matter, on 27-08-2014 NBSA in Order number 32 (Refer Annexure-F News Broadcasting Standards Authority Order No. 32 (2014) ) to Zee TV and Aaj Tak. These two channels whose actions were found to be in contempt of court, and told them to apologize and also delete all similar videos from their websites also (refering point - 6 of the same order),as follows :
6. NBSA therefore decided that the broadcasters be advised to air apologies on
their respective channels, the text and date of which would be furnished by NBSA.
NBSA also decided that the objectionable portion of the video of the complained
programme, if hosted on the websites of the broadcasters or any other links, shall
be removed forthwith
Inspite of this several media outlets continue to publish this morphed video to torture, ridicule, insult and victimize Ma Ranjitha Menon (Ma Nithya AnandaMayi Swami).
This even though justice was secured in the courts, in practical reality the media rendered it toothless.

• MEDIA VICTIMIZATION OF CHILD RAPE VICTIM - Daughter of a devotee of SPH HDH JGM Sri Nithyananda Paramshivam. Even after the paedophile was convicted by US courts, media penalized $5 Million USD Penalty for the same, it did not stop.

$5 Million USD (~ 350 Million INR) Judgement Against Vested Interests

On December 8, 2017, the USA Court fined Samaya TV, chief reporter Ranganath Bharadwaj with a $5 Million USD penalty for broadcasting false news about The Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam and his USA mission. The fabricated “news” coverage was contempt of Court and an attempt to spread lies and false propaganda around the criminal conviction of child rapist Vinay K. Bharadwaj - declaring that Vinay Bharadwaj was “innocent” when the USA Court after a full trial had convicted child rapist Vinay Bharadwaj on multiple counts of serious child abuse and sentenced him to 4.75 years of prison sentence. The media continuously victimized the child rape victim by name calling her. This shows the cruel nature of a section of media, which can go to any low for its greed.

• FAKE NEWS & HATE SPEECH - 2010 Fake Witnesses & Victims

HOW STATE POLICE USED STATE OWNED MEDIA TO CREATE FALSE WITNESSES AGAINST SPH JGM NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM

Since 29 Mar 2010, the State Police CID has been trying to create false victims against SPH JGM Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam. The State Police used the State owned media and advertised in the newspaper inviting anyone who would be ready to give any statement against SPH JGM Nithyananda Paramashivam. The State police even openly offered bribes to anybody ready to submit any negative statement against HDH, mentioning it as “travel and other costs will be provided too.” Yet nobody came forward.

TRUTH : Even after bribing for potential false witnesses when the Police are not able to provide any evidence to the court, they openly submitted in court that they don’t have any evidence. This is how the State Police and Government machinery has been violating human rights and dignity of the ASMT community and Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism JGM Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam.

The memo submitted bt the State Police to High Court reads - “As on today (11 June 2010), no witness come forward to lead evidence against Nithyananda”, full page preview of the memo in the next page.

11 June 2010: For months the State Police CID made several false claims of IPC376 (rape) against SPH JGM Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam on television. However in court it was unable to give any evidence against SPH JGM Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam. The Police silently submitted a Memo report saying that it did not have any material evidence or any witnesses against HDH, whatsoever.

The Police was not able to justify to the court why they should continue to keep HDH Nithyananda Paramashivam unlawfully in prison.

The media never covered these Court proceedings and kept the misinformation alive about the accusations against SPH.

• FAKE NEWS & HATE SPEECH - 2010 False Accusations by State controlled Media - Denial of Bail

HOW STATE POLICE USED STATE OWNED MEDIA TO CREATE FALSE AcCCUSATIONS AGAINST SPH JGM NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM

Several departments of Government went on a spree to file fake charges on SPH playing into the media line of vilifying SPH and creating Hate and Bias against SPH, despite being baseless or ungrounded.

(Left) : The State Police scouting for naturally grown Sandalwood Trees in the ASMT monastery to fabricate false evidence and press false charges of smuggling rare sandalwood timber against SPH JGM Nithyananda Paramashivam. (Right) : The State Police and Forest officers holding a cloth printed with tiger skin pattern and using this cloth as a false evidence to press false charges of smuggling of real tiger skin.

TRUTH : The sandalwood tree naturally grows in the monastery and even the reported pictures of evidence being collected only show some fallen branches and the remnants of the vandalism - not of any of those smuggled types. Similarly regarding false charges of smuggling of tiger skin, the picture clearly shows the police holding a cloth printed with patterns like on a Tiger - it doesn’t take any expert to identify these as a simple cloth.

No matter how ridiculous these false charges may seem, they were cited in courts to deny bail to SPH JGM Nithyananda Paramashivam. During this period of illegal arrest SPH JGM Nithyananda Paramashivam was tortured by the State Police in their attempt to force SPH JGM Nithyananda Paramashivam into false confession against Himself.

3 MARCH 2010 - ATTEMPTS TO BURN SPH JGM NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM ALIVE

(Left) State owned media channels such as TV9 recorded and live telecasted the attempt to burn SPH JGM Nithyananda Paramashivam alive. (Right) A snap short of Bangalore Mirror article dated 3rd March 2010, where it is falsely claimed that the police cleared the road but could not prevent the residence hut of SPH JGM Nithyananda Paramashivam from being set on fire, as if the police tried to save the life of SPH JGM Nithyananda Paramashivam.

TRUTH : The police did not even attempt to save the life of SPH, rather they aided the militants to kill Him.

3 March 2010 : State Police casually watching resident hut of SPH burn.

As Police personnel stopped monastery residents from saving the life of SPH JGM Nithyananda Parashivam, aiding the militants to trap SPH JGM Nithyananda Paramashivam inside His own quarters and burn Him alive.

SPH Nithyananda Paramashivam was saved when one of his monastic aides broke open the restroom window and rushed him outside. When the media sensed SPH was saved, the State controlled {TV9} media chased SPH HDH JGM Nithyananda Paramashivam over a distance of 2300KMs to execute their next assassination plans.

• PHYSICAL ASSAULT AND ASSASSINATION ATTEMPTS BY STATE CONTROLLED MEDIA ON SPH Bhagavan Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam - 2010

On 3rd March 2010 survived one the biggest attack on His life, where the State Police and Media conspired to burn Him alive. Physical attacks to assassinate SPH JGM Nithyananda Paramashivam continued ever since, and more than 70 such direct attempts to assassinate SPH JGM Nithyananda Paramashivam were made.

16 March 2010 - Media journalists followed SPH Nithyananda Paramashivam for more than 2300 Kilometers from Bengaluru to Haridwar and physically assaulted Him. The media tried to cover up the murderous attempt by publishing false news claiming that the physical attack was because of selective interviews that He was giving. Due to excessive hate propaganda, readers became insensitive to continuous physical assaults on SPH Bhagavan Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam.

March 2010 - Illegal freezing of the bank accounts of public charitable Trusts

• FAKE NEWS, TORTURE BY POLICE, AND PROOF OF INNOCENCE A DECADE LATER - 2010 CCTV Suresh

HOW STATE POLICE USED STATE CONTROLLED MEDIA & CREATED FALSE ACCUSATIONS, CONDUCTED MEDIA TRIAL AGAINST SPH JGM NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM

GROSS VIOLATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS: INTERROGATION TAPES OF SPH LEAKED TO THE MEDIA WITHOUT AUDIO FOR LAMPOONING AND DEHUMANIZING THE SPIRITUAL LEADER

April - May 2010: The picture above (TOP CENTER) shows the “Work Order” awarded by Karnataka Police CID to make a special interrogation room with “The Matrix like effect” for the purpose of torture and video recording of HDH Nithyananda Paramashivam. The Police had that room made up exclusively for this purpose. And the next Picture (CENTER LEFT) shows the “Confession of the Supposed Thief” revealing the torture he was put to by the CID to act as a proxy thief of the CCTV footage, portions of which were leaked to the media and rest lost without a trace. And the next Picture (CENTER RIGHT) was part of the court order acquitting the “Supposed thief” from the charges of stealing CCTV footage thus the top police department of the state closes the case of a footage theft from it’s highly secured prison (BOTTOM) The leaked CCTV footage that found its way to the media houses used to create hate and bias against SPH

TRUTH : CID has been employing all unfair means to coerce SPH into confessing for a crime that never happened especially as all the CID’s investigations as well as it’s bribed solicitations for a false victim turned out rather only to prove the innocence of SPH even under the most unfair of circumstances (as evidenced by its own submissions in the court multiple times that it could not find anyone or any evidence against SPH). This was the time when the CID turned its tactics to more ruthless and atrocious ways beginning from coercing SPH to self confessing for a crime that did not occur to assasination attempts on SPH. CID though released selective portions of the CCTV footage of SPH to the state media to fan the hate and bias against SPH ensured the footage containing the torture and coersion of SPH was lost for ever.

• 2012 - FAKE NEWS & HATE SPEECH - By Suvarna Television owned by Member of Parliament (Upper House) Rajeev Chandrashekar of Bharatiya Janata Party

Since 2010 the Suvarna channel spread misinformation, especially peaking in 2012 when they telecast the baseless allegations of the false rape accuser who was penalized by the USA Court with half million dollars fine for making false allegations and spreading misinformation about SPH.

This is also in gross violation and contempt of the order of Bangalore City Civil Court on 2nd April 2012 against 9 media houses including Suvarna TV specifically restraining them from derogatory exhibiting, broadcasting or telecasting of programmes, reports, clippings or visuals referring to SPH.

(https://nithyanandatruth.org/2012/06/05/contempt-of-court-by-suvarna-tv-in-defaming-paramahamsa-nithyananda/)

This spate of misinformation led to multiple assassination attempts on SPH, illegal arrest and custodial torture and physical abuse of SPH and his male and female monks, illegal closure of his temple monastery, forced eviction of SPH from the state of Karnataka and further false allegations spread by other media.

June 2012 - SPREAD OF FAKE NEWS, SUPPRESSION OF TRUTH AND ILLEGAL ARREST BY CHIEF MINISTER

The State is prejudiced against SPH JGM Nithyananda Paramashivam and the ASMT by the spate of media misinformation

“I have asked the district administration to seize the Dhyanapeetha ashram of Nithyananda and recover all documents from there and arrest him immediately.” The Chief Minister also said that he has asked the police to file strong objections against his bail petition.

https://www.firstpost.com/india/sex-tantra-and-video-tapes-chronicles-of-a-cool-dude-swamy-343264.html

“The chief minister's order is illegal, and he acted in haste. The political head of the state has no power to order anyone's arrest as it is an infringement of an individual's rights. It is unfortunate.. he seems to have surrendered himself to some vested interests. If anyone has a grievance, he should file a complaint. Or police can take up a suo motu case and investigate what occurred in the ashram. Media reports cannot be the basis for any order.”

Shankarappa | senior counsel

https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/bengaluru/CMs-order-on-Nityanandas-arrest-was-improper/articleshow/14164890.cms

Based on the Chief Minister's instruction, the State Police used brutal force on SPH JGM Bhagavan Nithyananda Paramashivam. In the picture above it can be seen a policeman strangulating the Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism at the neck. Brutal force was employed in an attempt to mob lynch and cause custodial death of SPH JGM Bhagavan Nithyananda Paramashivam. This brutal force was used outside the very premises of the State High Court where in fact SPH JGM Bhagavan Nithyananda Paramashivam had voluntarily appeared and even secured a bail a few minutes prior to the illegal arrest. The police arrested Him in spite of Him having obtained an anticipatory bail from precisely such an arrest. Video of illegal arrest : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LTqDl8gikjZ5R5yua_7DImGu1XQeO1wf/view

Media reference link: https://bangaloremirror.indiatimes.com/bangalore/others/nithya-beats-sonia-when-it-comes-to-security/articleshow/21358668.cms

As per police records a paramilitary police force consisting of more than more than 800 police commandos were deployed for illegal detainment of SPH JGM Nithyananda Paramashivam. This includes → 2 superintendent of police from Bangalore Rural and Ramanagaram, 2 additional SPs, 6 DySPs, 18 circle inspectors, 36 police sub-inspectors (PSI), 20 probationary PSIs, 12 assistant sub-inspectors, 144 head constables, 18 women police constables, 4 Karnataka State Reserve Police (KSRP) battalions numbering 100 constables, 7 district reserve battalions numbering 35 constables, 2 fire brigades, and 1 Vajra strike force, besides, hundreds of constables were deployed. With Two KSRP battalions with 50 armed constables at the ashram.
The reported cost to the State exchequer was Rs. 30 Million INR a day.
The media reports claimed that the size of the police force was unprecedented, and much larger than what would be deployed for even the protection of the President of the country.

TRUTH : The Chief Minister’s order to arrest SPH JGM Nithyananda Paramashivam and the order to freeze SPH’s bank accounts were illegal.

In a desperate attempt to finish off SPH once and for all, the state police sends an illegal notice ordering the freeze of the SPH’s trust bank account. This climax was choreographed with an unbelievable orchestration of media and state machinery. Media brought militia entered the private monastic complex of SPH in an assasination attempt on SPH while the media kept its propaganda up calling the beaten up, wounded / defenseless monks who stood as protection for SPH as the attackers as also spinning up many false stories like SPH was having an Island, multiple bank accounts in many countries and whatnot in a vilifying way. With these hilarious stories of the media in the backdrop the state chief minister announces that the monastery will be shut down on his own accord in the state house. Soon the state executed the illegal arrest and detention of SPH and took SPH to an undisclosed location far from the reaches of any protection and legal recourse and further ordered the freezing of SPH’s trust bank account isolating SPH and depriving HIM of all means for justice and protection in a sinister attempt to close SPH and his community once and for all. It is worth noting that in a court hearing related to the SPH’s trust bank account freeze the judge commented “No money, then eat air” It is chilling to note how the media could be the platform and an instrument in annihilating a community and its leader

THE ARREST AND ENTIRE PROCEDURE AND ORDERS FOLLOWED WERE COMPLETELY ILLEGAL DRIVEN BY MEDIA MISINFORMATION. THE HIGH COURT ORDER CRL.P. 3253 of 2012 (Dated 25 February 2013) CAME DOWN HEAVILY ON THE SAME.

To quote the exact order, " This court is not able to understand as to how the police officer could register the case for the offences under Sections 107 and 151 of Cr.P.C. when those sections does not deal with any offence and they deal only with the preventive measures. Therefore, the registration of the FIR under those Sections is without any authority, as those sections does not deal with any offences."
After this, the District Magistrate forced arrest of His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda.
The High Court termed the arrest and proceedings that followed as "illegal". To quote the exact order, "Perusal of the certified copy of the proceedings before the District Magistrate would indicate the further illegality in the proceedings."
Based on the already established illegal FIR by the Sub-Inspector, the District Magistrate forced an arrest of His Divine Holiness, and had Him brought to his office by means of a 600-battalion paramilitary police-force. The Magistrate ordered His Divine Holiness to be produced in-front of himself. Following this the District Magistrate remanded His Divine Holiness to prison for a period of seven days.
The High Court said that

His Divine Holiness was remanded by the District Magistrate "without authority".
The order of District Magistrate to force His Divine Holiness to execute an interim bond worth Rs. 1,00,000 was without any authority and illegal .
The order of District Magistrate to force His Divine Holiness to execute an interim bond without holding any enquiry was " contrary to law" and " without jurisdiction "
There was no preliminary order as required by Section 111 of Cr.P.C., therefore, the entire proceedings before the District Magistrate , Ramanagara, initiated under Section 107 of Cr.P.C. and various orders passed therein were " contrary to law " and " without any jurisdiction ".

The Court invalidated the unlawful police action FIR in Crime No 308/2012.

The media never published any of these truths inspite of strong observations by the High Court. The ASMT community was never compensated by the State, the State never apologized for its crimes, the damage in public image to caused to the ASMT community and SPH JGM Nithyananda Paramashivam by the illegal arrest (which to date most people believe was for genuine reasons) was never restored, the political and religious persecution of the SPH JGM Nithyananda Paramashivam and His community continues even 8 years later to date. The women monks of His monastery were raped by militants during this period of illegal arrest in 2012, and female monks never received justice or protection from the Police.

• DEATH THREAT WITH A SWORD ISSUED BY MEDIA ON SPH Bhagavan Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam

March 9, 2013 - Incited into hatred by hate speech by Suvarna News channels and other sections of the media, Vagish Prasad took a sword and issued a death threat to The Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam during a live news program on Suvarna TV.

2014 - Illegal Potency Test on SPH

Exactly a month after the release of SPH from the illegal imprisonment, from 16 July 2012, the State police using the pretext of ‘medical tests’ and on the wave of misinformation relating to the ‘manliness’ of SPH continued their attempts to re-arrest SPH.

This misinformation led to police lying that no medical test was conducted on SPH though the Court records themselves proved multiple medical tests were conducted on SPH when he was in illegal custody in 2010.

The Supreme Court ordered potency test to be done on SPH. SPH faced multiple assassination attempts right from when he was on the way to the medical test when his car was ambushed, to when he was made to undergo physical abuse in the name of potency test and subjected to violations of his religious vows by being forced to masturbate and shown pornography, to being chased by paparazzi after the potency test and direct attacks on his ambulance. This was also covered brazenly in the media in a demeaning manner as soft porn and as justified attacks.

But no media published the results of the potency test which were clearly exonerating SPH.

2018 - Illegal order by High Court of Madras, Madurai Bench, curbing the fundamental right to religious freedom

The media spread absurd, false reports consistently like the national newspaper New Indian Express publishing “10 tiger skins and elephant tusks” were used at the Madurai Aadheenam, national television NDTV telecasting “holy water offered at Madurai Aadheenam mixed with drugs”, Newswire reporting false allegations about a missing emerald lingam. The continuous misinformation led to the judiciary itself passing unconstitutional orders violating the fundamental human rights:

In Jan 2018, Justice Mahadevan of the High Court of Madras, issued an interim order preventing SPH who is the 293rd pontiff of Madurai Aadheenam from involving with the Madurai Aadheenam and threatened in open Court of ordering arrest of SPH if he did not step down from his spiritual position, and went on to take into custody a disciple of SPH who was witnessing the Court proceedings. This is in direct violation of the right to practice one’s religion as well as the responsibility of SPH as the spiritual head and Supreme Pontiff.
In March 2018, Justice Mahadevan issued a directive preventing His Divine Holiness from entering the Madurai Aadheenam and any of the public temples in Madurai under the Aadheenam, directly infringing on the basic right to freedom of religious practice.

• FAKE NEWS & HATE SPEECH - SPH Bhagavan Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam is a criminal

TRUTH :

There is no court in India or in any country of the world which has either declared or found SPH Bhagavan Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam guilty of any criminal or civil offense.
Since 2003, criminal elements in the media have made several false allegations against SPH, none of which have been proven true in the past seventeen years.

Since 2003, of the various false allegations that have been made against SPH Bhagavan Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam, none have been proven true (in fact they have been disproven) in any court of law in India or abroad. Infact, SPH Bhagavan Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam has been awarded legal compensation to a tune of Rs. 50 crore INR cumulatively from various courts for attacks done on his character and reputation; Rs. 30 crore INR ($ 5 Million USD) penalty against a media house.
If at all it can only be stated, SPH Bhagavan Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam is a victim of two decades of relentless crimes done through hate speech and incitement of hatred against Him and His followers by criminal media mafia elements.

The Ecuadorian Government denied all media reports claiming that SPH JGM Nithyananda Paramashivam took refuge in Ecuador.
As an internationally protected person SPH JGM Nithyananda Paramashivam’s location would not be revealed by any government, as it is against basic humanitarian ethics and international law.

• FAKE NEWS - Gujarat State Police asked INTERPOL to issue a Blue Corner Notice against SPH Bhagavan Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam

TRUTH :

Only the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) can make any request for issue of Blue Corner notice to INTERPOL. MEA has made no such statement in any document or in any of its public channel or press releases, claiming of having done so.
In India the interpol operates in conjunction with the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). Gujarat Police has no such power to make any such request to INTERPOL. The claim that the Gujarat Police asked the INTERPOL to issue a Blue Corner is unlikely to be true and most likely a media-gossip.
No court of law in India or in any part of the world has made any such order to any government or agency. There is no evidence of any Blue Corner Notice being issued on SPH Bhagavan Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam by any agency or court.
If really a blue corner notice was issued, then which body issued this request is unknown, under what pretext is unknown, and under what section of law is unknown and in response to implementation of which court order or directive is unknown. Since there is not any official response to any of these questions, the claims of issue of a Blue Corner notice seems to be false or would have to be done against procedures and law.

• MEDIA CALLING OUT FOR EXTRA JUDICIAL MURDER OF SPH Bhagavan Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam

Due to repeated incitement to hatred by the media, common man, and influential people of the society started openly demanding extrajudicial assassination of SPH Bhagavan Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam.

• FAKE NEWS AIDING CULTURAL GENOCIDE - November 2019 - Gujarat

Over the month of November 2019, the rising media propaganda against SPH moved to allegations of sedition against the Union of India.

The media misinformation was used to justify the shutting down of the Nithyananda Hindu University Yogini Sarvajnanapeeta, the world’s only Woman’s only Hindu University and arrest of the two female monk administrators. Following this, their immediate and only target was to find and arrest SPH Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam and assassinate Him silently in prison in an “encounter killing” after framing him with false charges of child abuse and child trafficking to the already media-trial false charge of rape foisted on SPH in 2010.

DESTRUCTION OF HINDU UNIVERSITY AND SCHOOL AT YOGINI SARVAJNA PEETHA, AT GUJARAT

Nov 27, 2019 - Media published defamatory articles making several false accusations against the Hindu University and school run by disciples of SPH JGM Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam.

15 Nov 2019 - Without any basis the State Police barged in the University and school in the middle of night for interrogating female monks forcing them to make false confession

15 Nov 2019 - The police along with CWC sexually harssed minors and forced them to watch pornography.

20 Nov 2019 - The police arrested the University female volunteers in the middle of night on false accusations and shut down the university.

In less than a day, the entire University infrastructure which was built as a humble attempt to revive the worlds’ only Hindu University was razed down by the government using heavy machinery earth movers.

Misinformation/Slander: SPH has derided India

FACT: SPH has always supported Bharat (India) as the spiritual incubator

Misinformation: SPH is a traitor, working anti-India and should be booked for treason and sedition.

FACT: SPH approached the United Nations for seeking help against the innumerable continuous assassination attempts on him and his followers and the attacks over a decade against his mission.

Misinformation: In a continuous buildup of rumor mills and twisted news: News said “No stupid court can prosecute me”

FACT: The statement made was “No stupid Court can prosecute me for declaring the truth that I am Paramashiva’.

The self styled media twisted the line to report as if SPH is abusing the Indian courts. SPH only declared the fundamental truth about Hinduism, that ‘everyone is a spark of the divine.’(Paramashiva is a representation of the eternal consciousness inside each one of us as per Hinduism).

Media twisted this in multiple ways:

To project as if SPH is against the Indian legal system,
To project as if SPH is mocking the Indian courts by claiming that He's beyond its powers
Projecting as SPH is above law

Misinformation:

Further false charges were fabricated and pressed against SPH JGM Nithyananda Paramashivam, trying to link Him with the arrest of His disciples in Gujarat. False cases such as child labour were pressed against SPH JGM Nithyananda Paramashivam.

FACT: SPH JGM Nithyananda Paramashivam never even kept foot in the state of Gujarat during this entire period when the several false allegations were made against Him. On the contrary Sexual misbehaviour was done by the Police against the minors of the Hindu University and Gurukul (school), and the parents of the children filed a case against the police in the High Court wherein the court observed that the Police had in fact abused the children.

TRUTH :

Abusal of Child Rights

Woken up by strangers in middle of night
Paraded like criminals
Asked whether they have suicidal tendencies and would try committing suicide.
Minor girls were shown adult content
None of the mentors or the parents of the kids were allowed to be present in the interrogation room.
Child made to witness father being manhandled by the police.
Minors made to sign in blank papers.
Forced to eat non-organic, chemical laden food.
Psychologically intimidating the kids.
Lowering the kids self esteem
Shaming parents in front of kids.
Adult language used to kids.
Sattvic kids meal was contaminated with meat and admitted by the police officers.
Religious sentiments were hurt by mocking attire, jata (matted locks), and appearance.
Touched kids inappropriately.

The media misinformation went on to empower the police to do gross child abuse that the Court observed also.

But the misinformation also led to delayed bail for the 2 female monks.

The court made a statement that they are a ‘threat’ to the children in the ashram and to the society at large and also, that they might prove to be a hindrance to the police investigation.
