A self-styled godman, once associated with a reputed religious organisation, is at the centre of a police investigation after several female students of a management institute here accused him of sexual harassment. The accused — Swami Chaitanyananda Saraswati, formerly known as Swami Parthasarathy — has so far evaded arrest despite raids and surveillance.

According to police, the accused was a sanchalak (management committee member) at the Sri Sharada Institute of Indian Management in southwest Delhi. Police also found in the institute's basement a Volvo car with a forged diplomatic number plate — 39 UN 1 — used by Saraswati.
