Sex toys, discs containing pornographic material, and forged photographs with global leaders were among the items recovered from the room of Swami Chaitanyananda Saraswati, the disgraced former chairman of a management institute in south Delhi's Vasant Kunj accused of molesting over 17 students, police said on Wednesday.
The self-styled monk, arrested Sunday from Agra after a two-month chase, is currently in five-day police custody. He faces three cases this year alone-multiple counts of molestation, cheating, and forgery.
On Wednesday, investigators scoured Saraswati's quarters inside the Sri Sharada Institute of Management-Research. Among the items seized were a sex toy, five discs containing pornographic content, and three forged photos showing him alongside Prime Minister Narendra Modi, former US President Barack Obama, and David Cameron, police said.
