Writer Bhumika Dwivedi Alleges Secret Rooms, Luxury, and 'Sakhi' Control at Avimukteshwaranand Math
•Writer Bhumika Dwivedi makes serious allegations against Shankaracharya Swami Avimukteshwaranand Saraswati amid sexual harassment and POCSO Act case.
•Dwivedi, who stayed at the Varanasi math in 2022, claims to have witnessed secret rooms, a luxurious environment with ACs, LED TVs, and a swimming pool.
•She alleges the math is controlled by the Swami's 'sakhi' (female companion), who has exclusive access to certain areas and monitors security.
•Dwivedi also claims young 'batuks' (disciples) from poor families are exploited for labor, and their belongings are stolen.
•She contrasts the current math's secrecy and luxury with the simplicity of Swami Swaroopanand Saraswati's time, stating she is not under pressure and has evidence.
