Saraswati has been arrested in a case lodged at the Vasant Kunj North Police Station. This case has been lodged at the complaint of students studying at an institute run by a trust.

On November 19, the Jail Authorities refuted the allegations of Chaitanyanand Saraswati that there is any threat to his life. They stated that he is in safe and secure custody.

Earlier, the court had allowed his application seeking permission to keep books, spectacles, and a restricted diet. The jail authorities allowed him to wear a Sanyasi robe.

He was the former director of the Sri Sharada Institute of Indian Management-Research in Delhi, who was arrested on serious charges of sexual harassment and fraud.

At least 17 female students, mainly from the Economically Weaker Section (EWS) scholarship program, accused him of using "abusive language, sending obscene messages, making unwanted physical contact, and pressuring them to comply with his demand".

He allegedly installed hidden cameras in the women's hostel and used his position to lure students with promises of jobs or foreign trips. (ANI)
