Bengaluru: Rape charges against Raghaveshwara - Semen traces found in clothes


Daijiworld Media Network - Bengaluru (SP)

Bengaluru, Nov 21: The policemen of criminal investigation department, who are investigating the charges of rape levelled by Premalata Shastri against Sri Raghaveshwara Bharathi Swamiji of Ramachandrapur Math, have received the forensic laboratory report, which reportedly confirms that semen traces were found on the clothes submitted by the complainant in support of her claim. With this new development, the case is all set to undergo a new twist.

Premalata, in support of her claims that she had been repeatedly raped by the Swamiji, had provided some of her clothes which she reportedly wore when she was raped, as evidence. Criminal investigation department officials had sent them for forensic scrutiny.

However, currently the police are unable to establish whether the semen samples found on the clothes are that of the Swamiji as alleged, especially as Sri Raghaveshwara Swamiji has challenged the validity of the department's initiatives to subject him to medical tests.

An application moved by the Swamiji against the medical tests is before the high court, in which he has sought to make the union government a party to the suit. At present, a stay has been granted by the high court against subjecting the Swamiji to medical tests.

    News Caption 'Semen Traces found'.

    Now everybody starts giving their stories & interpretation. Neither Media nor Readers have patience to give/read full details of the Lab Report.

    Instead, it should have been 'No DNA trace of Women found, But only Semen Tace of One Male found'. Now, our Readers comment count will down heavily, as more are interested in hype/fake news than real/detailed news. That's the difference !......

    And stop calling them godmen!! why only Hindu swamijis referred as GOD MEN? I havent seen, Pope, Saint, Bishop, Qazi, Imam, Derveish, Sufi, Evangelists are called so?

    there are SWAMIJIs and SANT and SANYASI... they never claimed to be GOD or GODMEN!...it is not like (mothorn/podorn -godfather/godmother at all)

    and all Shankara/Madhwa peethas have Sanyasi's appointed by rigorous practise, ion criteria and they have fixed timetable, to whom they meet and when!..no woman is allowed to meet without her accompanying men!

    Now that clinching material evidence adds-up to recorded evidences like circumstantial, documentary, forensic, tel call records.etc, time to rewind factual sequence:

    Both parties known to be very close to each other, victim always given preferential treatment & disciples aware of closed-door discussions. One among a few other most suspicious relationships now under wraps.

    Local police hurriedly dash to Blr overnight, to arrest & drag victim to Karwar, just before detailed rape FIR was filed in Blr

    Followers ordered to psychologically harass victim

    Sermon given: victim’s family be socially boycotted

    Real-estate barons, ex-DIG & crooked politicians threaten victim

    All forensic evidence conveniently ignored by investigators (including mobile call-records & suicide note naming specific persons) in suspicious death of close relative

    Ridiculous excuses offered (ramakatha program to chaturmasa program to daily prayers) to avoid mere questioning while victim is interrogated daily in jail!

    Temporary court order & futile attempt made to gag media

    Strings pulled in Delhi/Blr to get case closed while claiming in media that truth should come out

    New campaign launched to malign victim & family. Two followers arrested.

    Due to tremendous public pressure/media, drama enacted of attending CID questioning, arriving in convey of 20 luxury SUV’s, strangely, in company of clueless ladies, shepherded as supporters

    Even a blood sample is brazenly refused. Temporary stay of medical test obtained, with amusing excuse that it would harm reputation

    After thug from Kalladka, notorious underworld don from Karavalli threatens to kill victim

    Anticipatory bail obtained

    DNA & Semen traces scientifically confirmed on victim’s multiple undergarments

    Baba Rampal’s strategy adopted. Constitutional Validity of IPC challenged inorder to desperately delay medical test.

    Mr. Thimmappa Bhat, don't give your thoughts as judgement. The court proceedings under way. Wait until the judgement is out.
    Just read today's news papers. The so called victim has produced undergarments which is claimed to have semen of accused. The forensic lab's report came out which says that DNA of two different males were traced but no traces of female DNA found in it. So, it looks highly framed evidence. How can a undergarment of female, doesn't have any traces of female DNA in it? Everything looks dramatic in this case.

    I have always been impartial! but people have their own agendas n reading them!
    Yes, money laundering, hawala, murder and everything you want to charge do it with all the might against any Mutt Swamiji.. I will never come and defend!.. However, never do a "character assasination based on a LADY's CLAIM OF RAPE"!! cos RAPE is a different crime and horrible one!.. He is like a POPE to his sect and I know, how difficult their lives are... They never get close to women by any means and have a strict life style..me tell you, there is so much jealousy normally in Brahmins , if he ever gets to close to a woman, there is lot of chances of rumors and MMS and rest of the things spreadignliek a wildfire.. I had not heard any of this sort so far.

    Once, Subramanya Swami Vidyabhsuhana, came in touch with a woman and he left sanyasa and married her... so, these things come out fast... why would one allege of rape only when she is arrested on fraud case?

    who will give his credibility bad, if he is found not guilty? EVen SC observed women misuse their status in rape claims! I know this lady must be just doing that to avoid case.. and Gowri Lankesh and left liberal hacks are pressurisnig Siddramayya to arrest the Sanyasi once and STOP THE POOJA OF DEITY RAMA, which is happening for 1000 years, by swamijis...

    Rest, I dont care nout mutts and swamijis.. like Nityananda or anyone.. all r frauds! and I a not a Brahmin myself, to defend any.. :)

    @ Kiran
    He is just a Swamiji, but why you are exagarating & call him Godman ? Why the enquiring agency still doesn't mention that what type of Test is required, & simply keep calling for Medical Test ? Just as Enquiry agency is supposed to conduct Investigation, so do the accused has the Fundemental Right to ask the details of Test & its purpose. Are the Agency under any Political pressure to Fix him by hook or cook ? They can conduct DNA test with Salaiva also, & not with Blood. But why are they repeatedly enquiring only Swamiji for about 50 hours, & not all the parties of Complaints, as Co-Artists, Event Orgainsing committee at various places, People Escorting him, his Disciples, people escorted her to her accomodation place, etc. ? ? ....

    You are absolutely right.

    He is NOT a Godman like Swami Rampal, Asaram and others.

    With due respect, he is actually 1000 times worse, having taken a 1300 year old Math & followers for a ride, divided ancestral families and more importantly: driven the most respected community to the hall of shame!

    Despite your passionate loyalty (your posts reveal your ignorance), you will at least, accept the fact that if he had an iota of concern or respect to the famed community, he would have voluntarily retired (perhaps temp), stopped all obstacles, given a DNA sample and let law take its own course.

    Sadly, as matters finally precipitate, followers swiftly dwindle, the community is grieving silently that everything appears to be lost due a single youth’s extraordinary sexual desires gone out-of-control and subsequent adika prasanga-unwise actions, without any foresight of the extremely grave repercussions.

    Despite your hatered (your post reveal your ignorance), you will at least, accept the fact that he is well respected by all community, he has been coperataing CID investigation for days. Now, Lab Reports signals no traces of Women found in Cloths, clearly meaning this is a fabricated case by wested interested people to defame Swamiji. No need to step down, just face the case & bring the Couple to Justice. That's all...

    understand the sequence of this case! then u will belive, who is "questioning the credibility of govt instituions"
    1. the seer files a case, saying this lady and her husband is involved in fraud and stopped doing ramkatha! and threatened the troupe which was doing it.. cases were in Sullia, Honnavar, Bangalore
    2. This lady tells, Seer raped her repeatedly, during ram katha days.! "rape" is the word. she never gives any proof whasoever. Neither a MMS, her husband even doesnt feel shy.. she gives a lot of TV interviews etc. rejects every allegation and sticks to rape story
    3. She writes to President of India of this rape
    4. Few tabliods come up with story on her two daughters, where they are shown kissing, drinking, smoking, attending pubs with foreign boy friends allegedly taken from their own facebook
    4. Two youth arrested.
    5. When the case in court and court granting anticipatory bail (cos she actually hurriedly wanted to arrest the seer, when he is doing his chaturmasa), she says, she has no faith in Judge himself. Writes to CJI and Judge, Phaneedra, recuses himself from court hearings...
    6. She seems to have faith in Karnataka police and few forensic labs and no one else, which is strange...
    7. Seer on the other hand, fully cooperated with all the enquiries and sat thru 50 hrs of rigorus questioning and if they wanted could have found one or two issues, but by then she wanted a change in judge himself!

    Everything now looks fishy, cos all of a sudden a semen is found after 4 months into the issue! Though I feel, it needs to be verified, but its a humilating test for any Swamiji! ...

    More over this is a clear case of two faction of brahmins, who are fighting here and one set, which has lost its "dubious income" due to "gokarna temple" being handed over to Sriramchandrapur mutt seems to be behind this and are using the couple against seer, to settle their own score.

    As per discussions in TV9 on 20-11-14, the Lab test has to be done in 2 seperated Labs on the subject. Again it remains to check whether it is of her husband ? as she is a married women. The investigation methord itself looks confussing as after much hue & cry only the Lab Test is done, & that too in only one lab. The doubt also really lies on the Investigating Agency here as the report which was supposed to be submitted to Court has been leaked to Media, prior to its submission to Court. As per a report in VijayaKirana, local eveninger few days back, a futile effort was also doubted on unseen hands to take whatever details found on test & apply it to cloth to make it original !... Perhaps, on the way of Investigation methord now, as it has not so far clearly mentioned on type of test to be conducted, the Court has made the Central Government a party to the suit. Already around 50 hours of enquiry on Swamiji is conducted, but still the Agency has not been able to give details of Tests which they are insisting for !...

    Perhaps, now CBI may have to interfere to find the truth.

    More over, its been so many months and they found semen.. I know a forensic DNA test will clear all the doubts.. it is the Humilation the swamiji has to go thorugh of "potency test, ejaculation and semen verification etc"..! who will give all his credibility back..? cos I know how Kanchi seer was trapped! ... this is a pure character asssasination by the lady, who is a financial fraud! ... I dont say all Swamiji's are sacha... but here I feel little truth cos, first they tried to trap him in gokarna temple dispute.. and now this! cos, he has taken "Go rakshana" as a mission and I am sure, he will be tested and would come clean.. as an Outsider, all I can say.. " Devotees of the mutt" should firmly stand behind. I know you r too little to be a vote bank, but keep the faith! these tests everybody has to go through in Kaliyuga!

    If Modi was trusted, victim Premalatha should have asked for his intervention, not Accused. With many accused in different kinds of crime, circling around Modi possibly, does not give such confidence to her.

    When it comes to taking on mighty and powerful, one can go only with truth and sufficient evidence to establish the crime. If they can't, then they are asking for unbelievable troubles to come. Everybody knows it.

    I am amazed at the way in which the so-called Karnataka police go about criminal investigations. In the Tirthalli case, the police took a bag from the girl's father without making an inventory of the contents and then said that they discovered a note written by the girl which was inside the back. Because no inventory was made, any evidence that comes out of the bag cannot be introduced in the court. In the present Bangalore case I do not know if the proper procedure was followed while taking custody of the clothes of the complainant. If the procedure was followed the semen recovered from the stain on the clothes should be DNA analysed. It is not necessary to make the accused undergo a so-called potency test. A proper swab of saliva is sufficient for DNA analysis. If the DNA from the semen on the clothes of the complainant matches that of the mouth swab of the accused, it is good evidence. The lawyer for the accused might argue that the accused could have masturbated on the clothes. Under the amended law on rape that is good enough to make a chargesheet.
