IBN 7 needs to congratulated for the expose.
Babas, Sants and Mahatmas have been caught on hidden camera, accepting black money with the promise to turn it 'white' on a commission of 20-40%. The phenomenal boom in 'spiritual industry' in the country was raising eyebrows for long. CNN-IBN didn't carry the story though. The aggressive manner in which IBN 7 is going ahead with such sting operations, Aj Tak has a strong competitor now.

Meanwhile, what took everybody with surprise was Vedanti Maharaj's comments about Muslims that were absolutely uncalled for. It was the first ever such incident in the history of Indian media when someone made such vitriolic comments.
After the sting operation, the channel spoke to him. And he all of a sudden burst out against the 'anti-national Muslims' whom he described as: ma&*r ch*^& and kat£$
This stunned everybody including the anchor, who had to intervene and stop him. He had to say that 'when you have come down to such a low level, we don't want to talk to you now'.
