Bangalore: The CID, probing criminal charges
including rape against controversial self-styled godman
Nityananda today submitted two sealed covers containing a CD
and some documents pertaining to the case before the Karnataka
High Court.

When the petition filed by Nityananda praying for quashing
of the two FIRs came up before Justice Arali Nagaraj, the
Criminal Investigation Department filed an affidavit on the
progress in the probe and submitted two sealed covers with a
CD and some documents as part of evidence in the case.

The court then adjourned hearing of the petition to
September 29.

Nityananda landed in controversy in March after local TV
channels aired a purported video footage showing him in a
compromising position with a Tamil actress.

He was arrested in Himachal Pradesh`s Solan district on
April 21 on charges, including rape.

He was granted conditional bail on June 11.
