The Patiala House Court in Delhi has denied anticipatory bail to Swami Chaitanyananda Saraswati. The Delhi Police presented information to the court indicating that Chaitanyananda Saraswati had misrepresented himself as a representative of the United Nations. The Swami had filed for anticipatory bail concerning allegations of financial misconduct. The court, after consideration, decided to reject the plea.
The court’s decision was based on the premise that the nature of the charges necessitated interrogation while in custody during this phase of the investigation. The court’s ruling was delivered after it had reserved its verdict on the anticipatory bail application submitted by the self-styled spiritual leader, who is facing accusations of fraud, forgery, and criminal conspiracy.
