Sex, murders and videotapes; cloud on Jr Seer? Tuesday, December 14 2004 17:02 Hrs (IST) - World Time
Chennai:
The Junior Seer is not very far behind in the scandal race. This time it is only bigger better and bawdier. The latest 'Nakkeran' Tamil weekly claims that they possess a video of the Junior Seer Vijayendra Saraswati captured in illicit actions with film-actress Swarna.
The weekly claims that it has a knack of unveiling 'behind the Kanchi Mutt' scenes. It was the first to break the association of Jayendra Saraswati in the Sankararaman murder case. It is after this news that the police got into action and acquired the evidence, the weekly claims.
Four years back 'Nakeeran' editor Gopal got into trouble with the TN Govt for his controversial interview with forest brigand Veerappan during the Rajkumar kidnap episode.
Due to the criminal case issues, the present in-charge editor, A S Mani commented so on the episode, "I was shocked to see the 15-minute video of Vijayendra Saraswati and actress Swarna. I had to convince my conscience before I wrote this story."
Actress Swarna reprimanded the weekly for this and said that it's a waste of time even to think of a defamation case.
