Finally, the CBCID team has arrested self-styled godman Siva Shankar Baba in Delhi and as a next step, he will be brought to Chennai on Wednesday evening or on Thursday morning for investigation in connection with the sexual harassment allegations levelled by the former and current students of Sushil Hari International School, the institution that he founded, in Kelambakkam in the outskirts of Chennai.

According to our sources, the CBCID team has arrested the godman sometime back in Delhi's Ghaziabad. The Delhi Police had detained the godman and handed him over to the Tamil Nadu CBCID team. The team has gone to Uttarakhand on Tuesday with the reports that the 73-year-old godman has been getting treated at a private hospital in Dehradun, Uttarakhand for his heart ailments since June 9. Based on the shocking allegations from the students, the Chennai police had booked Siva Shankar Baba under sections of the POCSO Act.

Last Sunday, the Tamil Nadu government has transferred the case to CBCID (Crime Branch- Crime Investigation Department). SP Vijayakumar has been leading the CBCID probe and with the claim that the godman is in Uttarakhand, the reports say that the special team of CBCID under DSP Gunavarman has rushed to Dehradun on Tuesday to arrest Siva Shankar Baba. When the officials had reached the hospital in the morning hours of Wednesday, they found that the godman has already fled from there to evade the arrest.

While the probing team has decided to conduct the searches at his Ashrams, the officials had received the tipoff that Siva Shankar Baba is in Delhi. With the input, the team had immediately rushed to Delhi and brought Baba's hide and seek to an end after arresting the godman. The sources say that the team will be bringing him to Chennai on Wednesday evening or on Thursday morning for further investigations. 

Earlier, the reports say that after fleeing the hospital, the godman could have gone to Nepal through the road to evade the arrest. However, he has now been apprehended at the national capital. It must be noted that the CBCID team has on Tuesday issued a lookout notice against the godman to ensure that he won't leave the country and the team has affirmed that it is inching closer to arrest him.

Siva Shankar Baba has been accused of sexually harassing and intimidating the students of the school under the guise of branding himself as Lord Krishna. The shocking allegations have come to light in line with similar testimonies made by scores of students of prestigious schools in Chennai. 

The allegations against whom the students and parents thought to be a saint and light of the future had immensely shocked the state and beyond after he turned the future of the students dark. Several students have reached out to the media and placed their testimonies and trauma they went through inside Baba's circle. Each testimony was in a kind of stunner as the students said that he would force them to see porn, drinking alcohol, and have sex with them. 

Siva Shankar would convince a girl that he is Lord Krishna and she should consider herself as 'Gopika' in previous birth. He would then possess the girl to have sex with him and besides teaching them about different sexual methods, the godman would preach to the students about the importance of having sex with him, and his obnoxious behaviour under the godman avatar was said to have continued for two decades.
