and have begun their search at his ashram in Bidadi.

Reports reveal that the police is likely to arrest all those named in an FIR, filed after a dispute between the media and his followers.

"We have found some electronic equipments and our technicians will check them tomorrow, we will continue the search operations tomorrow, sealing the ashram is not important, finding out evidences is important," said District Commissioner Sriram Reddy.

Nithyananda is already facing criminal charges that allege complaints of rape from some of his devotees. He is reportedly absconding from his Bidadi Ashram.
