Bangalore, August 29: Followers of self-styled godman Nithyananda Swami have filed a complaint in a local court against a former devotee, who shot the alleged footage showing him in a compromising position with an actress, seeking immediate action against him.
Failing to get their FIR registered, a follower along with a lawyer and a supporter proceeded to Magistrate Court in Ramanagara, yesterday and filed a private complaint against Lenin, the followers said in a press release here.
