Today my children Tanaya and Aditya registered an FIR
against a Godman Brahmrishi Shri Kumarswami in Gomtinagar Police Station under
the Sections 419, 420 of the IPC and Section 7 of the Drugs and Magical
Remedies (Objectionable Advertisements) Act. Sri Kumarswami is a spiritual
leader who runs an organization known as Bhagwan Shri Lakshmi Narayan Dham.
The FIR alleges that Sri Kumarswami makes various
tall claims such as having more than 310 million followers including even Queen
Elizabeth. His other claims include the New York Senate declaring a day after
his name, a multi-step clinical test conducted on him at a Ministry of Science
and Technology research lab in Bangalore, his medicinal powers being relayed by
BBC, saving Bill Clinton’s chair etc.
Finding these claims dubious and suspicious, the
two had earlier sent a legal notice to Sri Kumarswami asking him to explain his
situation but no reply came from the Godman.
Sri Kumarswami has also been advertising in
newspapers that he has treated people of ailments and diseases such as
deafness, blindness, AIDS and cancer. Advertising such claims is an offence
under Drugs and Magical Remedies (Objectionable Advertisements) Act.
I present a copy of the FIR registered at police station, a copy of the legal notice by Tanaya and Aditya and a copy of the various claims by Sri Kumarswami, for your kind perusal and response please
