"He usually got things made in form of rosaries and sandals that he used to wear while returning to India," reads a DRI letter that was sent to the Bangalore airport authorities, a copy of which is in possession of MiD DAY.

According to the officials, the swami believed that he'd be never caught, as the custom officials never bothered to check him when he used to go on spiritual trips.
DRI officials had also issued a look out circular to all the airports soon after sex swami went into hiding.
The DRI sleuths suspect that Nityananda could have used the same technique for smuggling precious stones as well.
