Telecasted by the Tamil television Sun TV on 3 March 2010, the video created a furore in India. Nityananda was eventually arrested in Himachal Pradesh on April 21, 2010 and brought to Bangalore where he stood trial for rape and unnatural sex.[1] Zee News later listed this episode in the top five sex-scandals in India.[2]
