Expert opinion on Nithyananda scandal video - Vijay TV Special

Tuesday, April 3, 2012 Nithyananda gave a press meet in Chennai on 15th March, and claimed he has forensic reports that claim the video is edited. A nationally renowned Forensic Expert, Padma Bhushan Prof. Dr. P. Chandra Sekharan states very clearly that he examined the video and found no editing or morphing in it. Dr. Chandra Sekharan is a renowned forensic expert, who was consulted in a criminal caseregarding a movie allegedly involving "Miss Jammu Kashmir". In that case, alleged porn movie had received conflicting opinions from 2 different forensic labs. To resolve the confusion, Dr. Chandra Sekharan was consulted and he confirmed that the video was doctored. Based on his video authentication as a forensic expert, she was acquitted. Dr. Chandra Sekharan categorically denies any editing, altering or morphing of the scandal video and confirms it is authentic, contrary to Nithyananda's claims. He also further stated (in another interview) that "the videos that Nithyananda gave for testing in the US may have been edited, certainly the video tested by US experts and the CID are not the same".

Edward Primeaus report on Nithyananda Tape farfetched

Posted on December 2, 2011 by Dr P. Chandrasekaran Edward J Primeaus Report on Nithyananda tape is farfetched The noted Indian Forensic Expert Padma Bhushan Prof Dr P Chandra Sekharanhas commented that the expert opinion of the American Audio Forensic Expert Edward J Primeau on Nithyananda tape is farfetched in as much as he could not have had access to the original tape. The original video in tape was made by Nithyanandas driver Lenin Karuppan aka Dharmananda. This tape only can technically be called original or genuine. All the other copies made out in compact discs (CD) are only duplicates and many multi generated CDs were prepared from the first generation CD. The electronic gadgets the experts use to examine these CDs will certainly show signs of editing and other inherent defects of reproduction says Prof Sekharan. Edward was right in saying that the video he had examined (obviously in CDs) are not genuine and authentic. But he has exceeded his limit and passed judgement by saying that the video to be excluded from any factual relevance to the events that appear to be happening. Wherefrom then the events appear? From wilderness! An expert cannot make inferences. In fact according to Edwards very own words, I quote Many times the video evidence being submitted in litigation is good as a standalone exhibit and a video forensic expert is not needed. It is mostly the defense that is guilty of wasting money and complicating a case. It is indeed very sure that the American Expert as well as our CFSL have examined two different evidence materials and not the same one in this case asserts Prof Sekharan Source: Forensic International Learn More
