The actual problem is even worse. Religious leaders have become politicians, and politicians in turn religious leaders. The swami talks like a politician, and appears to be inciting his followers. The so-called Dayal panel report is so clearly political, biased and confused that it is hard to imagine any reasonable person ever being able to trust it. In fact, it distorts the name of the swami, almost mockingly calling him Lokhanananda instead of Laxmanananda. The description of the alleged attack on the swami is completely botched. The sequence of events described don't make any sense if one assumes that in the normal physical reality the arrow of time points from the past to the future. If you want to try to make sense of the events, you have to assume that there are three Swamis involved here - one, Laxmanananda who was "attacked" and was admitted to a hospital in Cuttack according to independent news reports; another, Lakhmananda who spent two days in a family planning office at Daringabadi according to the Dayal report; and a third, Lokhanananda who learned about the incident from others, also according to the Dayal report.
