Karnataka HC grants bail to Nityananda Swami

Zeenews Bureau

Bangalore: The Karnataka High Court on Friday granted conditional bail to the self-styled godman Nityananda Swami and directed his lawyer to furnish a surety bond of Rs one lakh.

According to report, the Karnataka High Court granted bail to Nityananda since there was no satisfactory evidence to keep him under further custody.

The development comes as a big relief to the controversial godman, who has been in jail for the past 52 days after the sessions court refused to grant him bail.

He has been charged with rape and unnatural sex.

The Karnataka High Court bench of Justice Subhash B Adi Thursday reserved his order on Nityananda's bail plea following the completion of a police investigation into the case.

The court also adjourned to June 24 hearing of the writ petition seeking quashing of two FIRs filed against Nityananda.

Nityananda, whose judicial custody was extended to June 23, landed in controversy in March after a local TV channels aired purported video footage showing him in a compromising position with a Tamil actress. He was arrested from Solan in Himachal Pradesh on April 21.

when a woman (actress in this case) wanted to have fun (sex), a man (swami in this case) has fulfilled the woman`s lust, therefore this is a case of consensual sex.

why is the man being punished? and the woman who is the co-accused left free?

people are irresponsible in a way. they need and enjoy the sensational news items and clippings which the media provide in abundance particularly dozens of tv channels. media also news hunger in nature to hype and darken the events according to their biased views. soon every sensationally published event faded away and forgotten in the run for fresh sensational and hyped versions of the so called news coverage. media is mainly responsible for hype and sensitising the issues in a prejudiced manner. it is the prime responsibility of the media for quality follow up of the events taken place at given intervals. people should also behave responsibly without falling for cheap gimmicks and events and think serious about the happenings. citizens and media responsibility should be unbiased. will this happen ? if so, when ? it is not that difficult. please think over friends !
