<p>Speaking to Deccan Herald, Karuppan, formerly a Nithyananda devotee known as Dharmananda, used a sophisticated camera to clandestinely record the godman’s sexual acts with Tamil actress Ranjitha at his Bidadi ashram near here, said that “man’s real face is now known to all devotees.” Karuppan had placed the camera discretely in Nithyananda’s bedroom where it recorded the goings on for three consecutive days -- December 21, 22 and 23. Apart from explicit sex scenes, Nithyananda was also shown being applied an oil massage by Ranjitha.<br /><br />Claiming that the Central Forensics Science Laboratory (CFSL) had found the video showing Nithyananda in various compromising acts with Ranjitha, Karauppan said: “Nithyananda is a fraud. What is his locus standi to talk and perform meaningless rituals for world peace? The so-called fire rituals being performed at the Bidadi ashram is another elaborate fraud, an eyewash and a sham. All devotees, past and present, and the rest of the country have already seen his real face.”<br /><br />Karuppan said, “even though no formal complaint was lodged by any of the women, I still stand by my claim that he had abused a number of ashramites by taking advantage of his position.”<br /></p>
