Bangalore, July 01: Nityananda today moved an application before the Karnataka High Court praying for prosecuting his former disciple K Lenin, accusing him of filing a “false” complaint that he had indulged in sleaze activities.
Nityananda, facing rape and other criminal charges filed against him based on Lenin’s complaint, sought a direction to the police to file an FIR against Lenin for providing them with “false” information.
The self-styled godman was recently released on bail after 53 days of judicial custody.
Lenin had claimed to have shot the video footage, aired by TV channels, purportedly showing Nityananda in a compromising position with an actress.
In his petition, Nityananda submitted that the conduct of Lenin was an offence under section 182 of the IPC.
