Aarthi Rao, an NRI staying in United States, presses false rape allegations against His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda. What makes her claims dubious is that it took six years for a women of her scholarly and cosmopolitan background to report the alleged incident. Moreover, the absence of any consolidated evidence or witnesses indicates a concocted and preposterous plot to attack Paramahamsa Nithyananda.
The alleged rape victim Aarthi Rao is an Engineering Graduate from BITS (Pilani), got her Master’s degree from US and is a US resident. It is highly unconvincing to believe that a woman of her background got brainwashed into having sex with her guru, in order to reach enlightenment.
What makes her claim more dubious is that within six months of the last alleged act of rape, she shared with Vinay Bhardwaj ( An accomplice in the morphed video case) that she never had any relationship with Paramahamsa Nithyananda.
She claims that she got repeatedly raped 120 times during the first day of act in the year 2004 till the last day in 2009. It is uncognizable that a rape victim went to the the accused to get raped each time. Moreover, what is appalling is that she never confided it with her husband during those six years.
As the Hon’ble Judge in Raghaveshwara Bharathi case would observe, and of which few facts are exactly the same in the case of Paramahamsa Nithyananda,
“she went to the accused wherever he was, in no instance, had accused gone to have sex with her, in no instance accused called her on his mobile phone or sent his men to call her and committed a rape on her. It is most unnatural to accept the case of the prosecution that the woman who is a victim of rape intermittently and extremely voluntarily goes to her hunter or rapist. This say is quite contrary to human notions, conduct and improbable and impossible to accept.
“Prosecutrix has failed to give an explanation of any compelling reason for going to him or meeting the accused repeatedly, after alleged the first incident of rape. The prosecutrix is mentally matured (not born idiot). She is a woman of fidelity to her husband, God fearing and chaste woman. The Prosecutrix is not a simpleton or of dullard woman and no knowledge of external world to cheat her easily by anyone including Mathadipathi.
“He did act of sex with her without illegal detention by him or his captivity. After having did a sex with the accused Mathadipathi, she returned home and led not only worldly life with her family members, but led a marital life with her husband without any complaint.
“What was the exceptional and extraordinary circumstance to prevent her from lodging the complaint immediately on a first, or second or third occasion like imminent danger to herself and her family members from the hands of men of accused Mathadipathi to accept her say. The man may cheat once, twice or thrice but, not always continuously. As told above, she is a woman of God fearing and faithful to her husband. The woman of such character never surrenders to any man even including Mathadipathi, definitely offers resistance and stops pay visiting the accused Math and attending.
“The women who are trusted to their husbands, or God fearing or chaste women and never astray from the path of rectitude, the women of such character never share the bed with anyone other than their husbands. The women are such character never carries away by their appreciation of person or lured by money. The women with above such character always follow a Dharma. The saying that goes ‘Sathi Dharmada munde Yathi Dharma naganya’. No scope for the place of literature in judiciary, but, the circumstances in this case warrants or calls for to mention it. If we accept the saying, the basic structure and foundation of the society on which we now stand will fail and collapse, become chaotic.
“It is not the section that determines the nature of the offence, but, it is the sum and substance of the allegation that will determine the nature of the offence being committed. It is the bounden duty of the Judge or Magistrate to find out the alleged offence actually accused committed on the material allegations leveled against him.”
Notably, no exceptional circumstances of threat (imminent danger from the hands of Paramahamsa Nithyananda and his men to herself and her family members) are being shown to condone the delay in making the complaint. It is also to be noted that the residence of her parents is only few kilometres from the ashram, so they were very much reachable in case of any emergency, if at all.
No pre-hatched conspiracy would have planned for the medical impotence of Paramahamsa Nithyananda. In the Paramahamsa Nithyananda case, the story of rape or let alone a sexual affair falls flat, given that the medical records of Paramahamsa Nithyananda quantitatively prove that his male hormone levels are extremely low, so there is no libido or sexual drive itself in the first place.
Medical reports show that not only psychologically Paramahamsa Nithyananda is incapable of a sexual act (i.e. he has no desire for sex), but physiologically too, he is incapable of any sexual act as his penile blood flow is “insignificant” and hence he is incapable of having an erection in the first place.
