24 February 2011 at about 3pm, the CID (Criminal Investigation Department) and police forced their way into the premises of the ashram. At the time, I was one of the people stationed at the gate. Since so many illegal entries by officials had been happening, I was determined to video-record yet another entry without proper paperwork or permission. When questioned, the CID was getting belligerent and did not want me to be recording. When I did not let my camera down, they physically attacked me. The officer then grabbed my hand, the one holding the camera, and twisted it hard. Immediately, i felt a surge of pain and knew it was seriously injured. I couldn’t see beyond the pain. After a visit to the hospital, the X-rays showed a fractured arm, and I had to place my arm in a cast for almost a month.
We had moved to the ashram with the hope of pursuing a spiritual life with our guru. My wife and I had never expected that I would be attacked this way for no fault of mine. We never expected that police officials would behave in such an illegal manner!
