Swami Chaitanyananda Saraswati Accused of Molestation & Trafficking

Delhi’s former management institute head, Swami Chaitanyananda Saraswati, is at the center of a storm after multiple allegations of sexual harassment and coercion emerged. Once seen as a respected godman and academic leader, the swami now faces accusations that reveal a darker, predatory side.

Leaked WhatsApp conversations show Chaitanyananda, formerly known as Swami Parthasarathy, persistently messaging female students of Sri Sharada Institute of Indian Management-Research, where he served as director. The chats portray him using intimate and coercive language to manipulate young women.

In one exchange, the swami repeatedly addressed a student with pet names such as “baby doll” and pressed her for attention even late at night. When the student said she was going to sleep, his messages escalated: “You will not sleep with me? Speak.”

Authorities claim that Chaitanyananda’s misconduct went beyond inappropriate messaging. Investigators say he attempted to traffic women, suggesting in chats that a “Sheikh from Dubai” was seeking sexual partners and pressing students to provide acquaintances for this purpose.

A forensic review of his mobile phone revealed multiple images of himself with airhostesses and screenshots of his targets’ profile pictures. Police say the swami systematically exploited students on EWS scholarships, with 17 out of 32 women filing complaints of harassment, obscene messages, and unwanted physical contact.

The ongoing investigation has shed light on how the accused allegedly combined his position of authority with manipulation, coercion, and blackmail to target vulnerable students, leaving a trail of psychological trauma and fear.

This case continues to unfold, highlighting the urgent need for vigilance and stricter accountability mechanisms in educational institutions.
