Bangalore, July 18: Self-styled godman Swami Nithyananda will undergo potency test on July 30, Crime Branch-CID sources said here.
In 2010, Swami Nithyananda had claimed that he was impotent and unable to perform sexual intercourse with any female.
Nithyananda's former driver Karuppan had brought out an alleged sex CD of the swami with a Tamil female actor.
Not sure whther the godman is telling the truth or just trying to escape rape charges, the CB-CID has decided to subject him to medical tests.
The state police had written to the Victoria Hospital top brass to constitute a medical board to examine him.
“We do not want one doctor testing him and later Nithyananda countering it", said a police official.
Meanwhile, the Ramanagaram court, before which Nithyananda was produced, granted the CID the go-ahead for conducting the medical test.
It also gave the nod for a voice test to know if his voice matched with that in the audio samples submitted by Nithyananda's detractors.
Nithyananda had submitted a medical report by a private doctor which claims he is impotent.
Meanwhile, the CID has decided not to arrest Nithyananda for conducting these tests. Once the board is formed, they will send him a notice asking him to voluntarily appear for the tests.
“If he fails, then the question of arresting him will arise,” sources said.
