Mangaluru, Nov 26: The Mangaluru East Police have registered a rape and cheating case against seven persons including a prominent Hindu seer following directions from the II Judicial Magistrate First Class Court, Mangaluru based on a private complaint filed by a small-screen actress.
The first accused in the case is Guru Nanjeshwara Shivacharya Swami (34) from Hunasamanaranahalli, Bengaluru. The other accused are Mallikarjuna (65), Jagadish (27), Basavaraj (64), Narayanaswami (56), Satyanarayana (52) and Subramani (52), from different places.
The complainant, who is a native of Thirthahalli in Shivamogga district, in her private complaint filed in the court, claimed that the seer had raped her after promising to marry her and assuring her of handing over administration of the mutt.
She said the six other accused took her to Bengaluru, where she was introduced to Swami in 2017. The seer took advantage of her making false promises, she alleged.
It could be recalled here that the same seer had faced protest from his followers after he was caught on camera in compromising position with a woman.
