Bengaluru: Two fraudsters who posed as astrologers and sexaully exploited women clients received a sound thrashing in full public view here at Kamalanagar in Bengaluru on June 24.
Two men Prithvi and Mohan hailing from Tamilnadu who posed as astrologers were arrested by the Basaveshwanagar police.
They were exposed in a sting operation by a leading TV news channel. It is learnt that they cheated their clients in the name of astrology. They tried to take advantage of their women clients and cheated their male clients of their money. They used to tell clients that they had a ‘dosha’ because of negative energy.
“I have to touch you to cleanse you of your ‘dosha’. Your mind should not be diverted when I touch you. The panchaboothas will cleanse you through me,” these two fake swamis told their women clients.
