Gangavathi, Dec 8: Kottur Swamiji of Virakta Kalmutt in Gangavathi town, Koppal district, has been reportedly caught in a sex scandal.

Tension prevailed for sometime at Virakta Kalmutt in Gangavathi on Thursday after a video purportedly showing Kottur Swami with a woman in a hotel room was streamed by news channels.

Kottur Swami switched off his mobile phone and went to an undisclosed location after the news spread in the town.

Hundreds of devotees rushed to the Kalmutt, expressed anger and sought the seer not to return to the mutt.

There was commotion for a while as one group termed the video as a conspiracy against the seer, while another group accused him of tarnishing the temple's tradition and image.

Community elders intervened, pacified both the factions and controlled the situation.

Meanwhile, the seer's car driver Mallayya Swamy has lodged a complaint with the local police claiming that he has threat to his life from the seer.

Mallayya Swamy is believed to have videographed the episode and leaked it to media. It is not known when the video was shot, but it was shot at room number 303 at a hotel near SDM College of Medical Sciences and Hospital, Suttur, on the outskirts of Dharwad.

In the video, a woman gets up and covers her upper body with a towel after two men enter inside. It also shows a man, believed to be Kottur Swami, sitting on the bed.

Bengaluru, Jul 31: Gyms in Bengaluru carried out sanitation work on Thursday following the Centre's nod to reopen gyms from August 5, after several weeks of COVID-induced lockdowns.

"We are taking all the precautionary measures prescribed by the government and will follow the guidelines very strictly. A thermal scanner, oximeter and hand sanitizers have been placed at the entrance of the gym. 

We request all other gym owners also to follow the guidelines strictly to keep their members safe and healthy," said Prasad Kumar, a gym owner in Bangalore.

He added, "The last few months have been very difficult for us gym owners and fitness instructors. We are very grateful to the government for allowing us to re-open. 

We are going to be very cautious when we open. Even before this COVID-19 pandemic, we used to sanitise all the equipment before and after every use so hopefully, this won't be too difficult for us. We are getting rid of the air conditioners to allow cross ventilation and open the space a little more."

According to Chandu Gowda, an actor and frequenter of the gym, working out at home was not the same as working out in the gym with the proper equipment.

"I'm very glad that I get to come back and work out as I used to before this lockdown. For an actor, working out is extremely important, not just for my physical health but also mental health. 

Doing exercises at home is never as good as exercising in a space dedicated to one purpose. I hope other members of the gym follow the rules and regulations religiously," Gowda said.
