Swami Chaitanyananda Saraswati, the head of a prominent ashram in Delhi's Vasant Kunj, is on the run after more than 15 women accused him of molestation. The Sri Sringeri Math administration has removed him from his post as director, and the police have revealed his last known location in Agra. According to the police, Chaitanyananda Saraswati is originally from Odisha and had been living in the ashram for 12 years, serving as both the operator and caretaker. The ashram has lodged complaints with the relevant authorities regarding his illegal acts. This isn't the first time that Chaitanyananda Saraswati, formerly known as Swami Parthasarathy, was accused of criminal charges. In 2009, a case of fraud and molestation was filed in Defence Colony, and in 2016, a woman in Vasant Kunj filed a molestation complaint.
