Sai Baba Sex Abuse Testimony

Dr. Naresh Bhatia, who for six years was the head of the blood bank of the Sai Super Speciality hospital, is quoted in The Findings, by the UK exposé writer, David Bailey: "Three young students from Sai Baba's junior male college were called for interview. One of them, a seven year old boy student, came out of the interview room crying. He continued to cry for two days, and was unable to eat or study. That evening Dr Bhatia, on duty in the children's canteen, was asked to find the cause of the child's distress.
