Tantrik held for sexually exploiting student

An occultist has been arrested here for allegedly sexually exploiting a college student and making obscene videos of her, police said on Tuesday.

Based on a complaint filed by the BA student, police arrested Sadhu Vinod alias Vishwantranand, who claims to possess supernatural powers, Monday evening, SSP R K S Rathore said.

According to the complaint, the student, who was ill for sometime, went to the tantrik to seek his blessings but Vishwantranand sexually exploited her for at least 10 months on pretext of curing her ailments, the official said.

The complainant also alleged that the man made several obscene video clips of her.

However, Vishwantranand defended himself saying he married the girl, a claim which was rubbished by the student, police said, adding that the occultist admitted that he made sexual relations with other women who visited him for tantrik treatment.
