Allegations Against Swami Chaitanyananda Saraswati
As per IANS, the accused is the director of the reputed Sri Sharda Institute of Indian Management in Delhi's upscale Vasant Kunj area. He is facing a criminal case for allegedly preying upon female students enrolled in PGDM courses under the EWS scholarship category.
Several students said they were threatened with suspension or expulsion and were even denied parental involvement.

Earlier on Friday, Delhi's Patiala House Court rejected the anticipatory bail plea of Chaitanyananda Saraswati. He had sought anticipatory bail in a case of alleged financial irregularities lodged against him.
According to ANI, Additional Sessions Judge (ASJ) Dr Hardeep Kaur dismissed the plea seeking anticipatory bail after hearing the submissions made by the counsel for the accused, counsel for the complainant, and the Delhi police.
The First Information Report (FIR) filed against Swami Chaitanyananda Saraswati showed shocking details of his alleged misconduct.
An IANS report stated that according to the FIR, secret cameras were installed inside the girls' hostel under the pretext of providing security. Further investigation revealed that the CCTV footage had been deliberately deleted.
The report also reportedly stated that one female student was forced to change her name against her will. Meanwhile, others were compelled to travel abroad and visit Swami's private quarters late at night.
Concerns intensified following a letter dated July 28, 2025, from a student of the 2023–25 PGDM batch, and an email dated August 1, 2025, from Group Captain Monica Bijlani, Director of the University Outreach Program at Air Headquarters, which highlighted ongoing atrocities linked to Swami Chaitanyananda Saraswati.
The students have accused Swami Chaitanyananda Saraswati and his associates of sexually harassing and traumatising them, specifically targeting those from economically weaker backgrounds to visit his quarters at night. They further alleged that he sent them inappropriate WhatsApp and SMS messages. The alleged messages have also been deleted.
The FIR also names Associate Dean Shwetha and others for allegedly aiding and abetting these acts by pressuring students to submit to Swami's sexual advances.
Officials said Swami Chaitanyananda Saraswati, born Partha Sarathy in Odisha, has allegedly been preying on women for nearly two decades, emboldened by his ability to escape previous molestation charges in 2009 and 2016.
Police have launched raids across Delhi, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and Rajasthan in search of the absconding accused.
IANS had reported earlier that the investigators of the case had informed that at least 17 out of 32 female students who recorded their statements accused Chaitanyananda of sexually harassing them.
The authorities also revealed that the accused was found driving a luxury Volvo car bearing a fake United Nations number plate (39 UN 1).
The number plate had not been issued by the UN but was fabricated by Chaitanyananda himself. The car has since been seized.
