Self-styled godman Nithyananda’s ashram demolished by authorities

The ashram of fugitive self-styled godman Nithyananda was demolished by authorities here on Saturday.

Last month, the Gujarat Police said that the self-styled godman fled the country. Police in Ahmedabad had arrested two woman administrators of the ashram.

The arrested duo, Pranpriya and Priyatattva, were held by police on the basis of a complaint filed by a Bengaluru resident Janardhan Sharma who alleged that his two daughters were held captive in Nithyananda’s ashram.
