Parents Hire Detective To Spy On DU Student, Find Her Near Brothel: ‘So Aniruddhacharya Was Right'
Last Updated: The detectives eventually found out that the girl had chosen this idea to get money for shopping and other excursions. A video detailing a Delhi couple's attempt to spy on their daughter has sparked debate online. The clip featured Tanya Puri, a private detective, talking about how the couple suspected their daughter of having a secret boyfriend so they hired a private investigator to trail her. The video has led to a lot of discussion, especially as one person mentioned Swami Aniruddhacharya's recent statements about women over 25 years having loose morals. The spiritual speaker had also claimed that girls should be married around the age of 14 so that they can adjust better with their in-laws. What Happened In The Clip In a podcast interview, Puri talked about the parents who had hired her company to spy on their daughter, who was a student at Delhi University. She mentioned that they had trailed the girl for a few days and found nothing out of the ordinary. One day, they saw the girl going to GTB Nagar. She reached an area where there were brothels and prostitutes. The detectives eventually realised that the girl had chosen this path to get some extra money to shop for high-end clothes and go out with her friends. Many slammed the parents for hiring a detective. 'Parents could afford spy but they dint have money to provide for their daughter? Waooooo," a comment read. Some others were curious about the financial situation of the family. 'Sounds fishy…. Family is so Orthodox to not allow having a boyfriend and give enough expenses to go shopping and live lavishly but can afford a private investigator to snoop on their daughter. Wow," an account remarked. 'Isn't this invasion of privacy….. Following someone without their permission," another claimed. One person said that parents should talk frankly with their children instead of hiring detectives to spy on them. What Aniruddhacharya Later Claimed About His Statement The spiritual speaker had later claimed that his words had been taken out of context to create a misleading narrative. In an apology video on Instagram, suggested that AI could have been used to modify the video. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Aniruddhacharya Apologises For Saying ‘Unmarried Women Have Loose Character'
A video shows Swami Aniruddhacharya saying that 25-year-old unmarried women have loose character. He also suggested that girls should be married at the age of 14. A video of spiritual speaker Swami Aniruddhacharya has sparked outrage, especially among women, over his alleged derogatory comments towards 25-year-old women. The remarks, reportedly made during a religious event in Vrindavan's Gauri Gopal Ashram, have led to protests and sharp criticism from many groups. The clip, which is being widely circulated online, features while speaking at the event. He reportedly said, 'Ab ladki late hai 25 saal ki. Ab 25 saal ki ladki chaar jagah mu maar chuki hoti hai. Sab nahi par bahut. Aur wo 25 saal ki jab aati hai toh puri jawan hoke aati hai. Jab jawan hoke aayegi toh swabhavik hai ki uski jawani kahi fisal jaegi (Now girls are marrying at the age of 25. By then, many, not all, have already been with multiple men. When a girl comes at 25, she is fully grown. Naturally, her youth may slip away somewhere)." He also referred to the Sonam Raghuvanshi and Muskan Rastogi cases, saying, 'Jaise ki ek honeymoon manane gayi, par wo kisi aur ke sath reh chuki thi, uske sath chakkar tha. Wo drum wala case purana nahi hua jyada (Like a woman went on her honeymoon, but she had already been with someone else. That case involving the drum is not even old)." He also allegedly said that girls should be married off at the age of 14 so that they can adjust better within the family. After the footage circulated online, widespread anger started, particularly from women and social groups. According to Navbharat Times, the women advocates of the Mathura Bar Association called the remarks anti-constitutional and sexist and submitted a complaint to the Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP). The advocates also staged a protest at the Collectorate and demanded strict legal action against Aniruddhacharya. Gunjan Sharma, state president of Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi Sangharsh Nyas, strongly reacted to the video. As per Navbharat Times, she said that she will kill such an Acharya with her shoe. Meanwhile, Pandit Dinesh Falahari, the main petitioner in the Krishna Janmabhoomi case, also condemned the remarks and stated that such insensitive comments do not suit a person in a spiritual role. Swami Aniruddhacharya Issues An Apology As backlash intensified, Aniruddhacharya released a video apology through his official Instagram account. In it, he claimed that the viral video had been edited to create a misleading narrative. He said only a portion of his speech was circulated, while the rest, which offered clarification, was removed. In his statement, he said, 'Even if my incomplete words have hurt anyone, I apologise. Whether it is a man or a woman, both should be character-oriented. My comments were directed at some individuals, not the entire society." He reiterated that this clarification was edited out of the circulating video. When asked about the authenticity of the video, Aniruddhacharya suggested the possibility of AI manipulation. He said, 'Nowadays, it is the era of AI. Anyone can present my words however they like, using AI, and the world will think it is the truth." Despite the apology, protests from various women's and social organisations continue.
