Ahmedabad, Nov 22: Self-styled godman Swami Nithyananda, booked in a criminal case related to his ashram here, has fled the country, with the Gujarat police working to gather concrete evidence against him after taking two of his disciples in remand, officials said on Thursday.

An FIR was registered on Wednesday against the controversial guru on the charges of kidnapping and wrongful confinement of children to make them collect donations from followers to run his ashram here, Yogini Sarvagyapeetham.

Ahmedabad (Rural) Superintendent of Police R V Asari said Nithyananda has fled abroad, and if required, the Gujarat police will seek his custody through proper channel. Nithyananda has fled the country after a rape case was registered against him in Karnataka, and it will be a waste of time searching for him here.

“If required, we will go through proper channel to seek his custody from abroad. We will definitely arrest him if he comes back to India, Asari said.

Two of his disciples, Pranpriya and Priyatatva, arrested on Tuesday on kidnapping, illegal confinement and assault, among other charges, were sent to five days police remand by a rural court here on Wednesday evening and are being questioned by the police, Deputy SP (Ahmedabad rural), K T Kamariya said.

Gujarat home minister Pradipsinh Jadeja told reporters that nobody involved in the case will be spared. He said the DGP has directed the SP concerned to form a team to investigate the matter in detail.

Meanwhile, police said that the second daughter of the Tamil Nadu man was still not located. Officials said that she has fled from the country, but her location was not known as she was using a proxy server to upload videos for the past few days, making statements in favour of Nithyananda.
