Serious molestation allegations against Vasant Kunj ashram director Swami Chaitanyananda

New Delhi: Swami Chaitanyananda Saraswati, the director of a renowned ashram in Vasant Kunj, Delhi, has been accused of molesting and sexually assaulting approximately 15 female students. The Vasant Kunj (North) police have registered an FIR and initiated an investigation. Currently, the accused is absconding and is being sought. Identification of the Accused and Police Action The accused's real name is Chaitanyananda Saraswati, also known as Parthasarathi. Police have seized the accused's Volvo car, which has a fake number plate (39 UN 1). Following the disclosure of this case, the ashram administration has removed the accused from his post. Delhi Police are continuously searching for the accused, and his last location was found to be in Agra. He is now being searched for with the help of the Uttar Pradesh Police. Allegations of Sexual Harassment of EWS Scholarship Students The gravity of the case can be gauged from the fact that the accused has been accused of sexual harassment by female students pursuing PGDM at the Sri Sringeri Math's Sharada Institute of Indian Management under the EWS (Economically Weaker Section) scholarship. These students allege that Swami Chaitanyananda not only approached them inappropriately but also sent them abusive and obscene messages. The college's female faculty also comes under suspicion The investigation has revealed that, under pressure from the accused, some female faculty and administrators were pressuring the victim students to comply with Swami Chaitanyananda's demands. The involvement of women in such roles has further complicated the case. Police have recorded statements from a total of 32 students, of whom 17 have confirmed the allegations.
