Nithyananda man
Bengaluru: Nov 27: A detailed report of a medical test conducted on self-styled godman Nithyananda, accused of rape, is said to have indicated that he possesses all the physical features of a man.

The report, along with a 31-page additional charge sheet, was submitted by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) to the third additional district and sessions court in Ramanagara on Wednesday.

It also indicated that Nithyananda's physical growth was commensurate with his age. The CID has already filed a charge sheet with regard to a complaint lodged by an NRI woman accusing?Nithyananda of raping her.

A team of doctors from Victoria Hospital in?Bengaluru conducted a few tests, including blood, urine and hair tests, on Nithyananda on September 8. The report contains details of results of these tests.

Nithyananda's counsel moved a petition regarding?the foreign visit of the accused. Judge Manjula posted the matter for hearing at 3 pm. Nithyananda collected the report submitted by the CID from his advocates and studied it for about 20 minutes.

Senior advocates C?V?Nagesh, Pramila Nesargi and Ravi Nayak, representing Nithyananda, were present at 3 pm when the hearing resumed. Nagesh presented his arguments for more than an hour. The judge posted the next hearing for December 3 and January 12, 2015, directing the accused to be present on both the occasions.

After the hearing, Nayak and Nagesh told reporters that there was no truth in the allegations levelled by the CID against?their client.?The charge sheet contains names of 48 persons whom, the CID claims, Nithyananda victimised. However, it lacks their statements. The CID recorded the statement of Nithyananda's former car driver Lenin Karuppan. “We will highlight such lapses in the next hearing,” they said.

The counsels said the court has been informed about the proposed foreign visit of Nithyananda and the High Court has permitted his trips abroad.

CID?advocate Vadavadagi said he submitted to the court the documents sought by Nithyananda's counsel.

Nithyananda Dhyanapeetham, however, claimed that the doctors had nowhere stated in the report that he was capable of performing a sexual act.?

The reports confirmed hypogonadism, extremely low levels of the male hormone testosterone. Only 12.50 mg/dl of testosterone is present in Nithyananda whereas its normal levels in adult males (aged 31-49) range from 249 mg/dl upwards. The report shows he has just five per cent of the lowest testosterone level required to be even considered a man, the Dhyanapeetham claimed.

Gokarna (Uttara Kannada): Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar on Wednesday said the Congress will decide about making him the Chief Minister in future, bringing to the fore again the issue of leadership change.

There was stiff competition between Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar for the Chief Minister's post after the Assembly election results in May last year, and the Congress had managed to convince the latter and made him the Deputy Chief Minister.

There were some reports at the time that a compromise had been reached based on a "rotational Chief Minister formula," according to which Shivakumar will become CM after two-and-half years but they have not been officially confirmed by the party.

During a temple visit here, a priest prayed that God's blessings may be showered on Shivakumar, and he became the Chief Minister.

Speaking to reporters here in Uttara Kannada district, Shivakumar, who has in the past made no secret of his ambition to become Chief Minister, amid speculations of change in guard mid-way of the Assembly term, responded to talk in some political circles about the leadership issue.

"What's wrong if a priest expresses his desire before God while praying? The priest has expressed his desire. Now Siddaramaiah is the Chief Minister, I'm working as Deputy Chief Minister under him, also as party's state President. People speak about it and desiring it (Shivakumar should become CM) is a different matter, it will be decided by our party," Shivakumar said.

"Now we are all working under the leadership of Siddaramaiah, and our desire is that the state should progress further under his leadership," he said.

"There will be people including supporters and priests, who pray for us, they will express their opinion. Can we stop them from doing it? At the temple it is between God and his disciple, they have expressed their feelings to God," Shivakumar added.
