'CDs, forged photos found during raids'
Hindustan Times Thane
|October 02, 2025
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.
