Saraswati, accused of sexually harassing 17 female students at a private institute here, was on Tuesday confronted with his two women aides who allegedly threatened victims and forced them to delete his lewd messages, a police officer said.

His phones also had photographs of him with air hostesses and screenshots of display pictures (DP) of women, the officer said.

The officer said Saraswati is not cooperating with the investigation and continues to mislead interrogators.

“He has shown no remorse for his actions and has been giving evasive replies,” he said. His two female associates, who worked in different positions at the institute, are being interrogated and being confronted with him as part of the probe, he said.

Saraswati has repeatedly lied during interrogation, even when he was confronted with evidence, the police said. He responds, reluctantly, only when shown documents and digital proof, they said. On Monday, he was also taken to the campus of the institute to point out locations where he used to call his victims.

Saraswati was arrested from a hotel in Agra on Sunday.
