Fugitive Indian godman declares own Hindu nation

Self-declared Indian godman and rape accused Nithyananda, who has declared a new Hindu nation, said that no stupid Indian court can prosecute him.

The controversial figure is wanted by police in a case of kidnapping and wrongful confinement of children at his Ahmedabad ashram, NDTV reported.

“I will show my integrity to you by revealing the reality and truth to you. Now nobody can touch me, I can tell you the truth – I am Param Shiva. Understand? No stupid court can prosecute me for revealing the truth. I am Param Shiva,” says Nithyananda, wearing a rust-coloured turban and robe.

The undated video has been in wide circulation on social media since November 22. Nithyananda appears to be giving a sermon from an undisclosed location.

“By being here you declared your integrity and allegiance to me… I promise you, no more death for you all,” he is seen telling his followers.

He said that his country is called Kailasa and is the “biggest Hindu nation” without boundaries. Media reports cited a website allegedly created by Nithyananda with details about his plans for Kailaasa, even as the police and other authorities investigating him for various criminal charges continue to remain clueless about his whereabouts.
