Can’t serve notice on Nithyananda, he is on spiritual tour, cops tell Karnataka HC

Bengaluru, Feb 04: The Karnataka police said that it was unable to serve notices to rape accused Nithyananda as he was on spiritual tour.

In its affidavit before the Karnataka High Court, the police said it could not personally send the notice. The submission was made after the court had ordered the police to serve notices on him in a case relating to the cancellation of a bail plea.

The police said that notices had been served on one Kumari Archananda at the Bidadi ashram. However, she had said she was unaware of his whereabouts. She also told the court that she was forced to accept the notice on January 31.

The matter has been posted for further hearing on February 5.
