The story became viral among news media in Tamil Nadu.[6] They both claimed the video to be fabricated and accused Sun TV of extortion.[7] A Forensic Sciences Laboratory in Bengaluru confirmed that the video appeared to be that of Nithyananda and Ranjitha but did not discuss whether the tape was morphed.[8] Ranjitha filed a complaint with High Court of Karnataka against news channels.[9][10] Various news channels were ordered to apologize to Ranjitha upon acknowledging the content was morphed.[11][12][13][14][15][16]
