His lawyer has said that they will wait for the chargesheet to examine the allegations against Chaityananda before deciding on future course of action.

Meanwhile, the police have found more incriminating evidence against Chaityananda after examining more witnesses from whom further objectionable videos have been recovered, including obscene messages purportedly sent by Chaityananda to the female students of a management institute in south Delhi of which he was the chairman before being shunted out over mass molestation allegations.

The police is likely to file the chargesheet in the matter soon.
