New Delhi: The government has cancelled passport of controversial self-styled godman Nithyananda and rejected his application for fresh one, External Affairs Ministry said on Friday.
Ministry spokesperson Raveesh Kumar also said that the ministry has sensitised all its missions and posts abroad about Nithyananda.
The self-styled godman has been on the run this past week, following accusations of rape, kidnapping, and torture. After evading multiple security agencies, he founded a new ‘country’ called Kailaasa, which is said to be located on an island in South America.
