In a troubling case from Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, a POCSO (Protection of Children from Sexual Offences) complaint has brought attention to allegations of sexual abuse involving two religious leaders, Swami Avimukteshwaranand and Mukundanand. Following a complaint lodged by Ashutosh Brahmachari, who claims to have substantial evidence against the accused, a preliminary investigation has been initiated. The medical report regarding the victims has now surfaced, contributing new dimensions to the ongoing investigation.

The medical report contains alarming confirmations of forced sexual acts against the victims, referred to as 'batuks' or students associated with the accused leaders. These findings, considered critical evidence by investigative agencies, are expected to influence the legal proceedings significantly. The seriousness of the allegations has sparked widespread discussion and concern, highlighting the urgent need for accountability within religious institutions.

Previously, some of the victims had openly discussed their accusations in interviews with the media, reiterating their claims against the accused leaders. This not only emphasizes the courage of the survivors but also raises questions about systemic issues within such organizations, pointing to a potential culture of secrecy and impunity that needs to be addressed for the safety of individuals in similar vulnerable positions.
