Senior counsel Vikas Singh, in a mention before an apex court bench of Chief Justice P Sathasivam and Justice Ranjan Gogoi, said there was no objection to media correctly reporting the court proceedings but it should be restrained from carrying speculative reports portraying his ashrams as some kind of brothels.

Vikas Singh said this while referring to the report of a Hindi newspaper whose heading said "Sex, rape, paedophile, brothel house: Godman or conman?" The senior counsel was assisted by advocate Ravi Prakash.
