Ten months after the sex tape allegedly involving
Nithyananda and cine star Ranjitha hit the internet, the actress finally broke
her silence on Friday.
Addressing a packed press conference, the
actress denied all the allegations against her. "It's not me in the video,"
said Ranjitha. "I was scared, I was threatened, blackmailed, and that
forced me to abscond."
The actress said she had been hurt by the
allegations. "I was scared to face anybody, so I had moved out of the
country; I came only for the CID inquiry. I was in the US all this time. I
have registered a complaint with the magistrate's court in Ramanagara,"
she said.
But then came the bombshell. Ranjitha said
a Christian missionary was behind the episode.
"I was being blackmailed and threatened
by the accused and also by another man who belongs to a Christian mission,"
said the actress. "I want to live, so I shall not name them. If the CM
of Tamil Nadu promises to protect me, I shall reveal the names."
