Holy porn

The Telegraph reports:
On January 29, the crime branch [in Ahmedabad] received an anonymous letter from a devotee who said a CD showing four sadhus engaging in sex with women was being sold. The police identified the quartet and one of them was caught with three touts who had arranged for women to be taken to the sadhus.

The gentleman arrested is "[a] sadhu of the famous Junagadh Swaminarayan temple" named Bhaktiswarup, and "all of them [the sadhus] belong to the original Swaminarayan sect of Vadtal set up some 200 years ago." PTI quotes DG Vanzara, the police officer in charge of the case, as saying: "Several books containing nude photographs of women, a copy of Vatsayana's Kamasutra, condoms, contraceptive pills and sleazy literature were also recovered during the raid at Bhaktiswarup's residence at Junagadh."

The moral police in India, of course, is being kept busy, with another MMS scandal erupting in Vadodara, where a girl training to be a teacher allegedly "used her camera phone to capture images of her hostelmate taking a bath, then sent the 10-second clip to her boyfriend through MMS. The boy forwarded the MMS to some more friends."

Our young are losing their innocence, our moral guardians would complain. But at least they aren't losing their Lexus.
