"Nobody will help you. Police instead of helping, will be putting you all behind bars," said Ayyappan

Ayyappan continued, "That woman, Aarthi, is under our control. Already, thousands have started attacking your ashrams, burning it down. If your guru remains alive, Aarthi will slap FAKE rape cases against Him. Which police will you call for help? The same police will be putting you behind bars for all the false complaints we will file against all of you! Do you want to try? Come to the police station with me. Every police officer salutes me. They know whose man I am. Understand, consider this a friendly warning - consequences will be disastrous. Are you getting it?"

Atmaprabhananda requested for some time to arrange for the money but Ayyappan illegally detained him in his office.

Atmaprabhananda begged, "Ayya (Sir), I am requesting you for some time to arrange for the money. Let me go, as I am unable to arrange for money from here."

Ayyappan said, "Keep quiet, you are not going anywhere. I am not leaving you." Ayyappan refusing to let him go till an amount is given, Atmaprabhananda spent the entire night in Ayyappan's custody. It was not an ordinary night, it was a nightmare.
