MUMBAI: Suvarna News conducted an exhaustive and exclusive interview of a lady victim from USA, who was sexually and otherwise exploited by the self-styled God-man Nithyananda. The channel?s investigative journalist made bold statements during the press conference conducted by the God-man himself. It led to angry reactions from the ?Swamiji? and his disciplines. What followed was a cascade of events and the eventual sealing of the ashram. And the God-man is on the run. The 125 hours relentless telecast ignited state-wide agitations, angry protests and swift reactions.

?This is a deeply investigated issue. Proofs on immoral and unethical activities of the ?swamiji? and the ashram were procured with high risk by our dedicated team. Once we were convinced with the facts, we thought we should fear none. We went ahead with 125 hours of relentless telecast? says Vishweshvar Bhat, Editor ?in-Chief, Suvarna News.

?Suvarna News stands by its core values of being straight, bold & relentless. While executing the entire episode, there were candid confessions and emotions by various victims and their families who came in drove to our studios as the drama unfolded. So much so, the Chief Minister of Karnataka gave his first ever exclusive interview to any channel and also congratulated us for our brave coverage and investigative efforts. There were shocked responses and the issue assumed national importance soon thereafter. We feel proud that a regional channel can set standards once an issue is approached boldly and relentlessly.? says Suresh Selvaraj, CEO & Executive Director of Suvarna News 24x7 and Asianet News Network.
