Swami Avimukteshwarananda Saraswati said on Friday that if a narco test is necessary to find out the truth in the case registered against him under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offenses (POCSO) Act, then he is ready for it.
He told reporters, ‘If the truth can come out through narco test then it must be done. Whatever methods are available should be adopted to reveal the truth.
Narco test is a scientific investigation process, in which a drug like ‘Sodium Pentothal’ is given to a suspect. Due to its effect, he does not remain completely conscious, but can answer questions, which increases his chances of telling the truth. This test is done under the supervision of experts only after the permission of the court and the consent of the person.
The saint’s anticipatory bail petition can be heard in the Allahabad High Court on Friday at around 4.45 pm. His disciple Sanjay Pandey said that Swami was participating in his regular religious activities and offered prayers as usual. A large number of media persons were present in the Math.
Avimukteshwaranand said that his lawyers are present in the court and will present all the evidence before the court.
He said, ‘Lies do not last long. Those who have fabricated the false story are being exposed. As people become aware of this fabricated case, the truth will become clear.
Questioning the claims related to the medical examination report, he said, ‘How can a medical report prove our involvement? It is being said that the report has proved misconduct. This may be someone’s statement, but what is the significance of the medical examination conducted after so many days?
It is not easy to add it to our name – Shankaracharya
He said that even if some wrong incident has happened, it does not automatically prove who is responsible for it. He said, ‘It is not easy to add our name to a child who never came to us.’
Avimukteshwaranand alleged that the children were living with complainant Ashutosh Brahmachari alias Pandey and raised questions as to why they were not sent to a juvenile home.
Citing media reports, he claimed that the children were kept in a hotel in Hardoi and were not allowed to meet journalists.
‘The truth will eventually emerge’
He accused the police of giving protection to the complainant and getting the statement prepared against him. Avimukteshwarananda said, ‘No matter how fabricated the story is, the truth will eventually emerge.’
Earlier on Thursday, Swamy had termed the case registered under the POCSO Act and relevant sections of the Indian Judicial Code as ‘false’ and alleged that it was an attempt to defame him and divert attention from the world famous ‘Epstein Files’.
He said that to protect the dignity of the institution he represents as the Shankaracharya of Jyotirmath, he has approached the High Court for anticipatory bail.
He also said that neither he nor his Gurukul has any connection with the complainants.
