65. An ugly ploy to deny bail
# **An ugly ploy to deny bail**
21st Apr 2010 : At around 1:30 pm in Bengaluru, the Counsel to His Divine Holiness prayed to the Court, requesting anticipatory bail. The judge was about to grant the bail based on the pure merit of the case - that the CID (Criminal Investigation Department) was unable to find any victim till then.

However, the police lied in Court that His Divine Holiness was already arrested. The truth is, the arrest did not happen until 2:30 pm. But by uttering the lie, the bail petition was made infructuous (redundant) and the bail was denied.
The blatant lie was masterminded by the DIG (Deputy Inspector General) of Criminal Investigation Department - Charan Reddy, to ensure compliance of S.Gurumurthy's instruction which was: the arrest and attempt to kill Paramahamsa Nithyananda.

The illegal arrest of His Divine Holiness
On 21 April 2010, at 2:30 pm, the State Police Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of Karnataka illegally arrested His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda in Himachal Pradesh in North India. The arrest was unlawful - unsubstantiated and unprecedented with no shred of evidence found against Him; a cruel suppression of basic human right to life, liberty and freedom.
