South Indian actress Ranjitha today claimed she was not the woman in the sleazy video involving the controversial self-styled godman Nityananda Swami and alleged that this footage aired by a TV channel was fabricated.<\/p>\n
Breaking her silence in her first public appearance after the alleged sex scandal broke out in March this year, Ranjitha told a press conference that she was ready to reveal the names of those behind the video if she was given security cover.<\/p>\n
Ranjitha said she was threatened and harassed by \u201csome powerful persons and missionaries\u201d not to say anything to police.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was very scared for my life and that of my family. However, if I and my family are assured of 100 per cent security by the concerned Chief Minister of that state (Tamil Nadu), I am ready to name the persons behind it\u201d, she said.<\/p>\n
She had filed a criminal complaint at the Ramanagara police station yesterday against Lenin Kuruppan, former driver of Nityananda, who had exposed the alleged sex scandal by releasing a secretly recorded video.<\/p>\n
Commenting on the video clip which purportedly showed her in a compromising position with Nityananda at his ashram in Bidadi in the outskirts of the city, she said \u201cit is fabricated. I am not the person in it. In fact at that time I was in a room that I was sharing with another female devotee in the Dhyanapeetham ashram.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
