While still in Chennai, I came near the Pondy Bazar police station in T. Nagar. There Ayyappan pulled over his vehicle in front of my car. Ayyappan and his men pulled me out of the car and pushed me into Ayyappan's vehicle. My head smashed against the car in the process. Due to this crippling blow to the head, I lost consciousness. When I regained consciousness, I was completely dazed. I faced a violent Ayyappan, who was demanding for the money that he had asked for in order to stop the Sun TV telecast of the fake video. He called the local police, who were his aides, and threatened me. He said that if I did not give him money, he would slap a false case on me and imprison me immediately. I was terrified. It was too much violence for me to handle in such a short span of time. I immediately paid a portion of the amount demanded to spare my life, with the help of a devotee, and was finally released by Ayyappan.
