Bengaluru: The medical report of the self-styled godman Nithyananda, who underwent a potency test at the Institute of Nephro-Urology, which was submitted to the Criminal Investigation Department has proved him to be potent.
As per sources, it is learnt that the results are out and the tests proved positive were enough to assess his potency. CID had submitted 31 page report to the court recently. Meanwhile Nithya has sought permission to travel abroad, however the reason behind his tour is not yet known.
The Supreme Court had directed Nithyananda to undergo a potency test in a 2010 rape case, thus he was subjected to tests on September 8. A bench headed by Justice Ranjana Prakash Desai refused to give any relief to Nithyananda. The bench while hearing the case had on August 20 questioned the controversial godman for his reluctance to undergo the test, saying such examinations are becoming necessary day-by-day in view of rise in rape cases.
The bench had also said that there is no reason why an accused in a rape case should not be subjected to potency test and had questioned the police for delay in conducting the test in the 2010 case.
The Karnataka High Court had in July affirmed an order of a chief judicial magistrate to subject Nithyananda to medical test to find out whether or not he was capable of having sexual intercourse, and also to collect his blood and voice samples.
