Disgraced Swamy and accused in sex romp case, Nithyananda had another shock, as the CID turned down his request for a certified copy of his interrogation. The controversy regained momentum recently when the Swami, fed up with the alleged distorted details of his case being reported by the media, approached the court seeking a certified copy of the interrogation, which has been submitted by the CID before the court. Responding to his application on March 31 in court, CID officials denied having any audio or video recording of the interrogation while he was in their custody.

'It was recorded'
Nithyananda, on the other hand, said that he remembers the entire interrogation being recorded. "I am not here to accuse or abuse the CID, but I clearly remember that my interrogation has been recorded," Nithyananda said. He added, "My only request to the CID is to help me continue my services to the world, to spirituality and social services. The CID, however, blamed the owner and staff of the company, which had installed CCTV cameras in the CID building, for clandestinely recording his confession and leaking it to the media for personal gain.

Taking a strong stand on the alleged leaking of evidence, the Homicide and Burglary Squad of the CID has filed a case in Cyber Crime police station against the company's owner and four of his staff. "We'll file a chargesheet against them shortly," CID officials said in their reply to Nithyananda's application.u00a0
'Bets were placed'
K V Dhananjay, advocate representing Nithyananda, said, "When we filed that unprecedented application to the magistrate asking for the interrogation tapes, several scholars made fun of how ignorant we were of the laws of this country."
He added, "I was specifically asked not to 'show off', and three lawyers and a businessman placed unilateral bets that our application would be kicked out of courtsu00a0-- how dare a notorious accused backed by a 'showy' lawyer not 'shut up' like everyone else and how dare they challenge court tradition."
He said, "I thank the CID for being forthright and informing the court and the public that the 'erotic confessions' were not manufactured by them, but by the media." Meanwhile, sources in the department said that the CID has all the evidence, but will not share it with Nithyananda fearing that the witness, who is ready to depose, will be threatened and disturbed. N Achuta Rao, director general of CID was unavailable, while N S Megharik, inspector general of police refused to comment.
