Bengaluru | Sunday | 23rd February, 2020

Summary:

By Express News ServiceBENGALURU: The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) is in the process of obtaining an open-ended non-bailable warrant (NBW) against the fugitive self-styled godman Nithyananda from the trial court in Ramanagara, sources told The New Indian Express. Unlike a regular NBW, an open-ended NBW does not have an expiry date or a time limit for execution. “The CID is seeking an open-ended NBW against Nithyananda in the wake of his bail cancellation order passed by the Karnataka High Court early this month,” the source added. The High Court on February 5 had cancelled the bail granted to Nithyananda in connection with a 2010 rape case. While cancelling his bail, Justice John Michael Cunha had directed the trial court to take Nithyananda into custody..
