Delhi police have arrested Chaitanyananda Saraswati, a 52-year-old self-proclaimed godman and director of the Sri Sharda Institute of Indian Management, on charges of sexually exploiting young female students at his ashram in Delhi’s Vasant Kunj. The arrest revealed his method of luring students, allegedly with the assistance of female staff members. Disturbing WhatsApp messages have surfaced, indicating conversations where Saraswati mentioned an anonymous ‘Sheikh’. In one exchange with an alleged student, Saraswati, aged 62, wrote, ‘One Dubai Sheikh wants to [have] a sex partner, do you have any nice friend?’ The student responded, ‘There is no one.’ Saraswati persisted, asking, ‘How is it possible?’ and further inquired about classmates or juniors. Additionally, other chats show Saraswati addressing a victim with patronizing nicknames and sending obsessive messages throughout the day and night. In one conversation, he asked a student, ‘You’ll not sleep with me?’
