Torture of witnesses and destruction of CCTV evidence by the State Police

  • 253. The Police CID (Crime Investigation Department) created a special cell to subject THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM to cruel, inhumane and degrading treatment. The Police issued a work-order to a company where the Police explicitly demanded the installation of "real harsh" "lighting" to give a "freaky", "matrix" (movie) like effect. This room was created for the single purpose of "interrogating THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM" and never later used again. The cell was fitted with special CCTV cameras, the footage of which was given to the media which aired this video and published it on their websites. The footage had no audio, as most CCTV cameras record the only video. The channel on its own added its audio and subtitles. This entire media report was false and intensified the unfair trial against THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM. The report marginalized THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM both in Bharat and abroad. Without any remorse, the channels maintain their stand and to date continue to host this video on their websites. Neo-Hindutva media channels have refused to comply with any of the court orders that have directed them to stop prejudicing and aiding unfair trials against SPH, leaving the SPH and ASMT community with no domestic recourse from this persecution. When the Counsel of the SPH raised the matter in the court, the police claimed in the court that the footage was obtained by the media by theft in the police office. The State Police never pursued any criminal proceedings against any media house. Instead, the police tortured their technician (Suresh) who installed the CCTV cameras as per the work order issued by them (Police), and forced Suresh to give a false confession that he stole the CCTV footage and gave it to the media illegally. Suresh could establish his innocence in court only by the end of July 2018. This is documented in the court order . By this time, the entire episode of police leaking interrogation tapes to the media became redundant as investigations in the case of SPH had been concluded and submitted to the trial court and charges framed against THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM (5 June 2018 in SC 86/2014 before the District and Sessions Court Ramanagara). These CCTV video records also captured the cruel, inhumane, and degrading torture done to THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM by the Police. The disciples of the SPH were pressurized by police to make false statements as a "bargain" to stop the torture of the SPH. Two female disciple nuns were eyewitnesses, who saw the footage capturing torture. They were raped and victimized by the police to give false confessions. 6 May 2010, Suresh was taken to a lodge named Raja Galaxy by the police and tied to a chair. Suresh was beaten and tortured from 9 PM to 1 AM. Suresh was forced to confess to crimes he never did. Suresh openly reported this to all available human rights forums of the country but those who tortured him were never brought to book. The entire episode is rigorously and publicly documented.
  • 254. In police custody, for over 8 days, the CID ensured that neither food nor water was given to the SPH. The police have even taken from His food (which was brought in a tiffin by His cook - Sri Nithya Shantimayananda upon court's approval) and eaten it for themselves. The food was replaced with beef and other non-vegetarian items and force-fed to SPH which is a direct violation of the religious beliefs as the cow is sacred and worshipped. Yogappa (Investigating Officer) poured water onto the floor and made the SPH lick the water from the floor when He was thirsty. Sri Nithya Shantimayananda whose role was to serve food to the SPH was not allowed to talk to Him. Even after the High court's permission for disciples to provide SPH with food, they were not allowed to serve food. A large sum of money had to be given to the police officers for them to be allowed to give food though it was already approved by the court. At one point the CID poisoned the food which Sri Nithya Shantimayananda had brought. Though Sri Nithya Shantimayananda was not allowed to talk, looking at his pale face SPH understood there may be something wrong with the food and did not eat it that day. Later that day, a rat that ate a portion of the food was found dead, proving the food was poisoned intentionally in an attempt to assassinate SPH.

Fatal potency test in secrecy and destruction of evidence by the State

  • 255. Monday morning, 26 April 2010, the SPH was forced into another medical torture in the name of what was official termed as "a potency test", which was scheduled at the Institute of Nephro-Urology, Victoria Hospital. However, the so-called test was done under police custody at an undisclosed location, instead of an equipped hospital despite security measures that were ordered by the Ramanagara Deputy Superintendent of Police already in place. This was reported by the media, however, all digital media records have been withdrawn, and only copies of the newspapers exist with the ASMT archives and some libraries of the country. The police records of the event were also destroyed by the Police. Like every other day until then, excessive blood was withdrawn from SPH. He was not allowed to meet His disciples or Legal Counsel. Unknown substances were injected into the blood vessels of the SPH. The body of SPH was sexually and physically abused. He was given no rest and taken to court where he reached at around 4 PM. A few of the disciples were able to see the SPH from far and recollect that the SPH was looking very different, He appeared exhausted but was still wearing a smile and blessing them from far. In the court when the SPH was standing in the witness box, He maintained His composure despite the acute genital and chest pain. He was profusely sweating. The judge noticed this and got alarmed and ordered immediate medical attention to be given to SPH.

Invasive endoscopy, waterboarding, other inhumane medical torture

  • 256. 26 April 2010, 8:30 PM, SPH was admitted by the police in Jayadeva Hospital, Bengaluru, Bharat. Witness Sri Nithya Shantimayananda recounts - "Swamiji (the SPH) had severe constipation where blood appeared in His stool and was undergoing chest pain. Invasive Endoscopy was done on Swamiji. Swamiji developed constipation due to dehydration and other inhumane conditions that were forced on Him. Under the coverup of wanting to further diagnose His stomach problem, the officers enforced a highly invasive test called an endoscopy wherein a tube was inserted into the stomach through the mouth and esophagus to locate ulcers, foreign objects, or other sources of pain and disease. The tube which they used to insert into the mouth of Swamiji was double the normal size of the tube, less elastic. In the same medical examination room in which they performed the waterboarding treatment, again, the officers made him lie down half-naked on the table. The doctor forced the thick, 1.5-inch diameter tube into the mouth of Swamiji. Swamiji gagged audibly and winced in pain as the tube went down His throat. The entire length of His throat, from His tongue until His stomach, was burning and stretched. Water began building behind His eyes and flowing down His cheeks. Saliva leaked from His mouth, down his chin, and his neck. Swamiji appeared to be in extreme pain when the tube was completely pushed inside. The doctor pushed the pipe even more forcefully. Swamiji involuntarily thrashed on the table. For twenty long minutes, Swamiji was subject to this brutal inhuman procedure." The SPH suffered severe internal wounds, causing blood to appear in his stool even after six months of this incidence. The next morning, 27 April 2010, it was extremely difficult for His body even to stand. SPH was forced to run on a treadmill repeatedly, more than what was required at speeds higher than needed. SPH was discharged and merely got rest for only 3 hours, from 12:30 PM to 3:30 PM. 27 April 2010, by 3:30 PM the CID, had brought back SPH in their custody for continued inhumane interrogation .

Gag order by the Court to stop the SPH from speaking about the police torture.

  • 257. From 30 Apr 2010, the SPH was transferred and kept in the Ramanagara Prison. On 11 June 2010, The Hon'ble High Court of Karnataka while hearing the bail petition of SPH BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM in its order observed the undue media influence against SPH BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM, mentioning it in point number 13 (page number 12) as an "issue" (propaganda) which "was subsidized (funded) by the media." Despite making the observations, the High Court inexplicably suspended the freedom of speech of the SPH. The SPH was forbidden by the court to impart any religious teachings other than conducting yoga classes. The suspension of the fundamental human right to freedom of speech by the court disabled SPH from being able to speak anything about the torture done to Him in prison. This gag order was specifically given to systematically disable SPH from being able to seek any form of remedy from torture or protection from attempts to assassinate Him. This was ridiculed in the media, where it said - the court has gagged the godman.
  • 258. On 12 June 2010, around 5:30 PM the SPH was released from prison. On 28 July 2010, Hindu pilgrims had come walking from various cities and villages of Tamil Nadu to Bidadi (Bangalore) in an annual Gurupurnima pada-yatra pilgrimage. The pilgrims went around the city in a procession with a look-alike wax Deity of the SPH on a procession. This irked the Neo-Hindutva militants who attacked the Deity mistaking it as the SPH. The fabricated accusation of rape against the SPH was collapsing in the court and His popularity seemed to have been unaffected by the massive hate propaganda of 5,000 hours. In response, the neo-Hindutva terrorists fabricated false witnesses to sustain the lawfare (malicious prosecution) against the SPH. The media hate propaganda was increased and totaled to more than 14,000 hours of hate speech, character assassination, and defamation by 2014.

Attempts to kill the SPH for entering into Temple.

  • 259. On 29 December 2010, THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM went to His birthplace, Tiruvannamalai to offer His prayers at the Arunachaleshwara Temple. Militants of DMK and CPI(M) carrying black flags surrounded THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM and His disciples. The militants cheered at verbal death threats to THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM, "If you (the SPH) enter the temple we will kill you." The disciples tried to protect THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM and were brutally beaten and some female disciples were sexually assaulted. The principal of His gurukul school (Rishi Sri Nithya Advaitananda) was one among those who were beaten owing to which he suffered severe back pain till date.
  • 260. On 24 February 2011, at 3 PM, the State Police forced their way into the monastery without any warrant. On 12 June 2010, upon the release of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM from illegal imprisonment, the Police Circle Inspector Dharmendra had threatened the security guards that he would burn down the monastery. Sensing Police malpractice and threat to the life of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM, the security guards (comprising the SPH disciples and monks) stopped the police and demanded a proper search warrant before being given admission. Deputy Superintendent of Police CID, Ramalingappa broke the hand of an international volunteer from Malaysia who was at security. The police arrested the volunteer including monks at security charging them with obstruction of police duty.
  • 261. 27 April 2012, THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM was coronated as the 293rd Pontiff of The Shyamalapeetha Sarvajnapeetha Madurai Aadheenam, the world's most ancient monastery. The coronation of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM as the Supreme Pontiff of Madurai was extremely intolerable for the neo-Hindutva terrorists, who made more than eight vexatious litigations to dethrone THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM. Over the next month, they made several physical attacks and mob-lynching attempts to assassinate THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM.
  • 262. The neo-Hindutva terrorists despised Hindu women in monastic and priestly roles. On 29 April 2012, two female disciple monks of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM who used to work in the temple's charitable kitchen that served pilgrims were raped by the neo-Hindutva terrorists. 29 May 2012, two monks of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM that had been posted to maintain the Kanjanur temple, were beaten by the neo-Hindutva terrorists and had to be hospitalized.
  • 263. 29 May 2012 A mob of 100 anti-Hindu atheistic militants, who opposed the appointment of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM as the 293rd Pontiff of Madurai Aadheenam, came to mob lynch THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM when he was at his Kanjanur Agneeshwara temple residence. The personal secretary monks of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM were assaulted. The mob smashed THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM's car. The monks managed to escape. With injuries, they drove to the local police station for protection, filed a complaint, and got themselves hospitalized. Such attacks by mobs are not isolated incidences, in 2019 a senior brother disciple (Gurubhai) of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM a Mahant (senior regional head) of Mahanirvani Akhada, along with his driver and intern monks were mob lynched and killed with the State police as an accomplice to the mob lynchers.
  • 264. The next day on 30 May 2012, THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM was leaving the city of Kanjanur when again a mob of anti-Hindu atheistic militants attacked, disciples of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM were assaulted in front of the police.

Unlawful arrest and attempts of the State to kill THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM by poisoned food.

  • 265. Throughout the documented history of the monastery which spans at least 3,000 years worship to the sacred Shivalinga has never even once been missed even for a single day. However, during the 14 June 2012 illegal arrest THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM was denied the right and responsibility to execute His core responsibility of offering daily worship to the Shivalinga. This broke the tradition which had even survived during the thousand-[year Hindu Holocaust perpetrated as the world's bloodiest genocide] that killed. A part of this was reported by the media, although in a manipulated way to denigrate THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM. THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM was starved over two days. At night, some food was given by the prison staff. A well-wisher in the prison staff slipped a note with the food warning THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM to not consume the food as it was poisoned. SPH did not consume the food at all. Prison mice ate the food. The next morning the mice were found to be dead confirming that the food was poisoned.
  • 266. The High Court in its order implicitly exposed the State terrorism, where it termed the arrest of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM in 2012 as "illegal", "without any authority", "contrary to law", "without jurisdiction". This did not remedy the situation. There were no repercussions for perpetrators of the crime who were protected by the State. This is the reason why assassination attempts, illegal imprisonment, and custodial torture was repeatedly done to THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM until 2018 when THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM was forced to withdraw from public life in Bharat. The Chief Minister who had openly given orders to the police to use the brutal force of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM only escalated in his position and capacity in the government and became the Central Government's Law Minister.
  • 267. Between 26 Oct 2013 and 11 Feb 2014, Bengaluru Aadheenam: the deities and the Puja items were contaminated with dangerous alloys by a group of sculptors who had infiltrated the organization in the pretext of employment. This contamination causes slow poisoning to anyone who performs the daily rituals. The infiltrators also stole 40kg of silver. A Police complaint was registered against the group, but no action was taken.
  • 268. Samaya Television Network Haridwar Attack: On January 13, 2014 Samaya Television sent its crew to Haridwar to physically attack THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM.
  • 269. Bengaluru Aadheenam: Ramesh Gowda an influential politician and his more than a hundred people strong gang of militants attacked the Bengaluru Aadheenam for almost 4 continuous hours. The attack was done on March 9, 2013, and March 17, 2013. The goals were two-fold: one, to find and murder THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM, the spiritual head of the ASMT community; and two, to ensure that the ASMT community was always in fear feeling themselves in a survival threat. Several media channels were present these media channels are owned by the same extremist political elements. With no recourse from the Police, the police refused to register any complaints. Also, on March 9, 2013, the leader of Nav Nirmana Sene, Bhima Shankar Patil, in an interview with Samaya TV declared that he and his group are determined in attacking all monasteries, temples, and centers of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM and they would not stop until they forced Him out of the state of Karnataka.

Death threats to THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM on national television by Neo-Hindutva extremists

  • 270. On, 9 March 2013, Vagish Prasad, neo-Hindutva terrorist Vagish Prasad wielded a sword and issued a death threat to THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM from a national news channel named Suvarna TV. Despite the video evidence the local police refused to register any formal complaint (FIR). A city magistrate registered the FIR. The case was dismissed despite video evidence and telecast on national television.
  • 271. On January 18, 2014, the Nava Nirmana Sene heard from their local scouts that THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM was visiting a devotee whose grandmother was paralyzed and facing the last moments of her life. The Nava Nirmana Sene used this opportunity to mob lynch THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM. They gathered a mob of 30 dressed in white and black uniform at the gate of the Bengaluru Aadheenam with the intent to storm inside and murder His Divine Holiness upon Him exiting the monastery. His Divine Holiness canceled the trip to the devotee's home.
  • 272. Bengaluru Aadheenam: On July 12, 2014, 30 caste supremacist militants attacked Bengaluru Aadheenam. They were wielding weapons such as swords, machetes, and iron rods. They set fire to posters and flyers of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM and brought down billboards in front of the gate. Then, various burning materials and improvised explosives were thrown inside the Aadheenam to set the residences on fire. The day was the auspicious occasion of Guru Purnima. Many devotees from all around the world had gathered to celebrate the occasion. Due to the mob attack, the celebration had to be canceled and the residents were instructed to stay indoors.

2014 - Cruel, Inhuman, degrading murder attempt by the State in the guise of a second 'Potency Test'

  • 273. 8 September 2014, 8 am THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM submitted Himself to the Medical Superintendent at the Institute of Nephro-Urology Victoria Hospital. He was taken to a special ward no. 1 on the second floor. The test was not done in a room with privacy; it was done in an open ward, where anybody could just walk to see SPH's private parts. The fact that the test was done in a ward, not in any room with privacy is recorded in the medical report in writing.
  • 274. The media made caricatures with vulgar defamatory narratives of this episode and aired while the test was still in progress. It was not a coincidence. In 2010, the police had leaked the CCTV footage of interrogation (without audio) to the media and used it to misreport in public as if THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM had confessed to some crime. In an attempt to repeat this, and to publish humiliating pictures of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM in the media, the medical team repeatedly pressured THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM to consent to a video recording of the test. This was not a simple matter of freedom of speech of media or mere defamation by the media, here the police were pressurizing THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM to allow videography of his venereal organs so that media can make pornographic videos to humiliate SPH. This was the third such attempt, of psychological torture and sexualized hate propaganda in four years where police were directed and openly involved.
  • 275. The State medical team recorded this in their report, "Sri Nithyananda Swamy refused to permit Audio-video recording of the tests which was conveyed to the investigating officer." The medical team never made any clear stand (neither scientific nor rational) on why the examination of venereal organs required videography. Neither was there any directive from the Supreme Court for such recording.
  • 276. 8 September 2014, 8 am THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM submitted Himself to the Medical Superintendent at the Institute of Nephro-Urology Victoria Hospital. He was taken to a special ward no. 1 on the second floor.
  • 277. The Supreme Court of Bharat, in its order in point 5 had only said, "for the limited purpose of taking his blood samples, voice test and subjecting him to medical test and shall release him after completion of the tests." The medical team ((i) Dr. C R Chandrashekar, (ii) Dr. Chandrashekar H, (iii) Dr. Veeranna Gowda K M, (iv) Dr. Venkata Raghava S) was accompanied by Karnataka State Police Investigation Officer Lokesh. All of them put undue pressure on THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM in the guise of following the Supreme Court Order and asked THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM to accept unethical and dangerous medical procedures in writing. These procedures which involved injecting unknown substances had caused cardiac symptoms to SPH in the previous medical "test" torture (dated 26th April 2010).
  • 278. But in the same order, the Supreme Court had also said, "It is the prime duty of the accused to cooperate with the investigating agency," which was used to put undue pressure by the State Medical Team and State Police on THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM to attest in writing and to co-operate for His torture and assassination.
  • 279. Throughout the medical test, Police Investigation Officer Lokesh pressurized and instructed the State Medical team to conduct tests to either kill THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM or at least leave THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM with disabilities such that He is never able to walk. At a point, when Lokesh thought THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM is not conscious to hear Him and none of His disciples are around, He told - "Inject whatever, do whatever just get a positive (potency). Or at least disable Him. He should not be able to walk."
  • 280. THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM consented in writing to the recording of history, physical examination, blood tests, ultrasound, penile doppler (without injection of vasoactive substance). 8 September 2014, 8 AM, special ward no. 1, second floor of Institute of Nephro-Urology Victoria Hospital. It was an open ward without any privacy. He was subjected to brutal sexual torture. This was narrated live in several local media channels in a defamatory way. Doctors tried to use female nurses for these tests, and it was made sure this was narrated in the media. The eyewitness (Doctor) recalls female staff was made to parade in perverted ways in the open ward. These narratives were defamatory, hateful, and extremely vulgar to ensure no sympathy was felt towards THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM. THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM was forced by the medical team to have tests done by female nurses, right from the withdrawal of blood to everything else. It was emphasized repeatedly that THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM being a lifelong celibate monk and the religious leader of 2 billion Hindus should not be subjected to such treatment which is an absolute violation of his religious and human rights. The nurse in turn violently punched the injection needle multiple times in the arm of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM. THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM was accompanied by devotees who were professional surgeons, they narrate their eyewitness account, "The only time I have touched Swamiji (THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM) is when I had the blessed chance of reverentially touching His feet. Even as a surgeon I was not able to handle the sight of the medical assistant repeatedly punching the syringe into the body of Swamiji (THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM) pretending as if being too amateur to find the veins to properly withdraw blood."
  • 281. THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM was forcibly masturbated, subjecting Him to excessive force. It was extremely painful physically. The pain increased as His veins in that region were swollen, due to varicose (also recorded in State medical report in doppler test as - "significant varicocele seen on either side"). Forced masturbation required higher blood flow through calcified-obstructed-veins (recorded in State medical report in doppler test as "calcification in right scrotal sac"), which put more stress on the veins and internally added to already unbearable pain in the veins. THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM experienced and reported deep-rooted penile pain.
  • 282. In 2015, a panel of UN consisting of medical and forensic experts unequivocally called for the ban of forced anal examination terming it as unscientific and equivalent to rape. On 8 Sept 2014, THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM was subjected to anal torture, which was described and worded in the State medical reports as "per rectal examination" a benign-sounding term that concealed the serious harm the entire team caused to His body. The State police officer Lokesh told the State Medical team - "Inject whatever, do whatever just get a positive (potency). Or at least disable Him.

He should not be able to walk." Frustrated the State Medical team of doctors told the staff to kick THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM, it was reported in the media to incite hatred against THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM. Because of all these tortures and the anal torture (disguised as a "per rectal examination") THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM was unable to walk, unable to urinate without pain for several months, unable to even sit in a chair without pain for several months, needing help to even walk and use the restroom for several months to come, deep-rooted penile pain.

  • 283. In such pain, the hospital willfully denied a wheelchair to THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM and made sure to force Him to stand when He was not even able to get up. THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM only prayed "Om Namah Shivaya" repeatedly and went through the torture.
  • 284. THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM was subjected to unscientific tests but some scientific tests which helped in clearly establishing His impotence were omitted citing ridiculous reasons. For example, out of all the tests the most scientific potency test - the Rigiscan test was not done. The Medical team cited that they did not have the Rigiscan machine, a third-party doctor offered it to the hospital, they declined to accept it and made sure to not conduct it.
  • 285. The lab report of the State medical team established THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM is impotent. However, the state medical team in the final report concluded contradicting their own data, recorded by their own lab and published in the final report. This was pointed out by all the experts who studied the report in sworn affidavits.
  • 286. The State Medical Team's opinion contradicted their data. All the medical tests were done under the direct supervision of the Police (Investigating Officer - Lokesh). Annexures and evidence:
    • a. The following document gives the detailed government medical reports as it was received.
    • b. Notarized affidavits of medical experts from all over the world on the above government report:
  • c. A presentation combining (1) and (2)
  • 287. Bengaluru Aadheenam: On the night of October 24, 2014, TV9 Kannada sent a large group of paid assassins to the Bengaluru Aadheenam and to kill the THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM. The assassins did not find Him. They planted false entrails of liquor, condoms, and drugs at the Bengaluru Aadheenam, which could elicit false and vexatious litigations against THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM.
  • 288. Phuket: Participants from over 50 countries around the world had gathered for a 21-day program, conducted personally by His Divine Holiness from December 7 to 27, 2015, at Phuket Thailand. The political extremist groups from Bharat, with the help of the local mafia, disrupted the program and tried to kill THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM.
    • The staff of the hotel at which the program was organized disrupted the program. The staff took unauthorized videos of the program. They provided the video recording to the local media without consent.
    • The hotel staff frequently disconnected electricity in the middle of the night in the pretext of maintenance.
    • The hotel staff creates obstacles in conducting the daily program. A formal request was made to the hotel staff to relocate to a different hotel.
