Unravelling the mystery behind the source of the video that now has Swami Nithyananda on the run, a former disciple has approached the police claiming it was he who secretly recorded the self-styled godman in a compromising position with an actress to expose his wrongdoings.

Lenin Karuppan, formerly Nithya Dharmananda of the Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam, has alleged that his life has been under threat from the Swami, adding that he also suspected foul play behind the death of a woman inmate a year ago. Similarly, an inmate had attempted to commit suicide, he complained.

In the complaint filed with Chennai City Police Commissioner T Rajendran, Lenin, of Salem district in Tamil Nadu, who claimed to be an inmate of the ashram in Bangalore since 2006, said the swami used to lure many young women devotees claiming that he was the reincarnation of Lord Krishna. Of late, he had become close to actress Ranjitha, with whom he has been allegedly caught on tape.

The tape was recorded in December to stop the swami from further defrauding devotees and public, said Lenin. He claimed the swami got a wind of the existence of such a tape and threatened him in February.

Based on the complaint, the police here have filed a case under sections 295(a), 376, 377, 506 (i) and 120 (b). However, since the events described in the complaint happened in Bangalore, the city police have decided to hand over the case and all evidence to their counterparts in Karnataka, said Rajendran
