Nithyananda may have forged birth

documentsBangalore, Mar 24, DHNS

There is now emerging evidence suggesting that self-styled godman

Nithyananda may have forged his birth documents. He has certainly

misrepresented his date of birth.

Documents available with DeccanHerald show that in at least two

official documents Nithyananda

provided different dates of birth,

bringing into question not only his

age.

There are already question marks

over the mechanical engineering

diploma that he had supposedly

earned from a Vellore polytechnic

college.

A copy of the US visa issued to him

from the US Consulate in Chennai in

2003 shows his date of birth to be

March 13, 1977. This means that at

the time of applying for the US visa, he had provided the Consulate authorities with

document(s) that showed his date of birth as reflected in the travel paper stamped

on his passport (No E2122927).

But in two other documents petitions filed along with sworn affidavits in the

Karnataka High Court last week he has stated that his date of birth is January 1,

1978. In the petitions, praying for quashing the entire proceedings including the

investigation pending against him at Bidadi police station near here,

Nithyanandas lawyer claims: The petitioner was born on January 1, 1978, in

Tiruvannamalai in Tamil Nadu.

There is more about his age in a Nithyananda biography, relevant sections of

which are available with Deccan Herald. The author writes: Nithyananda was born

on January 1, 1978, at 32 minutes past midnight in the holy town of

Tiruvannamalai in South India. The same author writes that Nithyananda was born

in the Tamil month of Margazhi (December-January) and likens his birth to that of

Krishna.

A city-based advocate Siji Malayil said furnishing two different dates of birth for

official purposes could invite criminal act ion for cheating and forgery. Malayil

added that in the case of Nithyananda, the Indian Penal Codes Section 420

(cheating), 468 (forgery for purposes of cheating) and 471 (using as genuine a

forged document) could be evoked.

In view of suspected forgery of birth documents and misrepresentation of his date

of birth, the American authorities are believed to have begun to look into the

manner in which Nithyananda obtained US visa. This enquiry could form the basis

of a wider probe into the activi ties of his cult organisations that operate out of

several American cities.

Incidentally, the US visa (B1/B2 type) Nithyananda obtained in 2003 was

cancelled pursuant to with prejudice by American border officials on February 4,

2007, while he was trying to cross over from Canada to the US.

HC petition

The brief introduction of the petitioner becomes relevant and necessary herein, as

follows: The petitioner was born on 1st January 1978 in Tiruvannamalai in Tamil

Nadu, India and named A Rajasekaran. He is the second son of his parents (late)

Sri Arunachalam and Smt Lokanayaki.
