started jostling with each, the police had to intervene to bring order. Some policemen pushed journalists aside. In the melee, the glass door at the hospital's entrance got dam-aged. A photojournalist and three policemen were injured when glass pieces from the door cut their fingers. A lensman from a na-tional daily even lost his imported watch in the confusion.
The mediapersons stood their ground wanting to get the photos. They also protest-ed against the manner the police handled the situation. Victoria Hospital superintendent Dr BG Tilak said a team of doctors, includ-ing him, would examine the former minister. "He has been diagnosed with high blood
The criminal investigation depart-

cian and is on the lookout for the
owner of a private media agency for
its involvement in stealing video
clips of the interrogation of
Paramahamsa Nithyananda, the self-
styled godman embroiled in a sex
scandal.
The CID had registered a case under
the IT Act and the Indian Penal Code
at the cyber crime police station sit-
uated on the CID campus after the
agency came to know about the
video that was posted on YouTube.
"Investigations revealed that the
new interrogation room was con-
structed by the Public Works
Department (PWD)," CID director
general of police DV Guruprasad said
in an official release on Friday. "The
PWD had given a private agency the
contract to set up the recording
facility in the interrogation room,"
the release said.
"A technician called Suresh was
entrusted with the job of setting up
audio and video recording systems.
He was arrested on May 5," the
release said.
CID officials found that Suresh had
surreptitiously stolen some of the
video clips of Nithyananda's interro-
gation. He handed over them to a
private agency, Sinchana Media, in
Jayanagar, Guruprasad said.
Two men who worked for the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) were framed for stealing the CID interrogation and leaking it to the media. The torture that His Divine Holiness went through was never told to the world.
