Swami Chaitanyananda, who once roamed in BMWs dressed in saffron, now finds himself in police custody wearing slippers. Feigning memory loss with password excuses, his 300-page dossier unveils the layers of his misdeeds. As Delhi police delve into his five-day remand, his sordid secrets slowly unfold.
The depth of Swami's cunning is evident in how he ceased using mobile phones while on the run. Yet, it was too late; police had already tracked him to Agra. The subsequent search led authorities to 'The First' hotel room number 101, where they nabbed him at midnight. Currently, Swami is on a five-day remand, with police eager to uncover his true criminal patterns. Despite the exposé from numerous girls' complaints, they seek confirmation from his own confession about operating such a scheme.

At the Delhi-based Sharda Institute of Indian Management and Research, Swami wielded absolute control. Targeting girls from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, he exploited them sexually. This time, however, his audacious operations came to light when his vile acts reached an Air Force officer, a Group Captain, and Director of Education, who then informed the institute with a written complaint.
Promptly, a response was elicited, resulting in the swift filing of a police report against Chaitanyananda. The accusations are extensive; he allegedly installed hidden cameras within hostel rooms to capture private moments of girls, using these images for blackmail. He sent obscene messages and summoned students to his room at night.
Those who resisted were threatened with career sabotage. Some students were enticed with promises of opportunities abroad, luxury, and secured grades, only given to those consenting to his demands. A former student also exposed his terrible deeds, revealing the involvement of 3-4 women, including the warden, in facilitating his actions.

These women coerced girls into his room and, if matters escalated, deleted incriminating messages from their phones. The entire system seemed orchestrated to shield Chaitanyananda's criminal activities. Formerly the Chancellor of the prestigious Shri Shri Jagadguru Shankaracharya Mahasthanam Dakshinamanya Shri Sharda Peetham at Vasant Kunj, he now wears the label of an inmate.
The fraudulent guru primarily targeted girls from the Economically Weaker Section (EWS). With less power to resist, they became victims of his elaborate exploitation plan. Thus, the police complaint recorded against him stretches over 300 pages, each accusation more startling than the last. Police have since interrogated over 30 students, with 17 officially filing complaints against him. Sixteen students presented their testimony before a magistrate, outlining the guru's reign of fear and exploitation within the institute. As the complaints amassed, Shri Sharda Peetham severed all ties with Chaitanyananda and decisively called for severe action against him.
