Ex-SIMS head missing since August accused of sexual harassment
Swami Chaitanyananda Saraswati, former chairman of Shri Sharada Institute of Indian Management in Delhi, has been accused by over 17 female students of serious misconduct.
The allegations are disturbing—hidden cameras in the girls' hostel, inappropriate comments, and intrusive questions about their personal lives.
Saraswati, also known as Dr. Parthasarthy, has been missing since August.
Inquiry revealed shocking details
A fraud inquiry launched by Sri Sringeri Sharada Peetham in July brought these issues to light.
In a virtual meeting with 30 students this August, allegations of harassment and trauma were discussed.
The FIR also records stories of illegal surveillance and pressure to join late-night visits or foreign trips arranged by Saraswati.
He's also accused of misusing institute funds for luxury cars and running unauthorized businesses on campus.
Police are still searching for him near Agra and Mumbai.
