Bangalore, July 23: Tamil actress Ranjitha, whose alleged sleaze acts with self-styled godman Nityananda triggered off a public outcry has denied any sexual relations with him and termed the video footage aired by television channels as “morphed”.
In her statement to Bangalore CID, probing the case, Ranjitha rejected charges of sexual harassment by Nityananda and said the woman shown on the video was not her.
She denied any sexual relations with Nityananda and said that she had “only visited Nityananda’s room once or twice”, CID sources told PTI.
On the video footage aired by regional TV channels, purportedly showing her in a compromising position with Nityananda, Ranjitha said “the entire video is morphed”.
The sources said the forensic science laboratory’s analysis of the tapes has, however, concluded it was not morphed, “indicating that Ranjitha is not coming out with the truth”.
