Sir I was working as consultant for M/s.MAASTEK . On 22nd April 2010 Mr. Vijay called me to his ottice and told me to install CCTV system in COD office, I along with iir.Venkatesh (Manager) and 2 technicians by name Srikanth and Sagar went to COD office to install CCTV system. We completed installation of CCTV system on 24th April 2010 by evening, in the course of time as there was a problem in video and audio clarity. I called Vijay he told me to copy the footage and send through Venkatesh in pen drive I did according to his instructions. On 4th Morning Vijay called me to his office and told me that Nityananda interrogation ciips has been leaked out please go and clarify. I along with Venkatesh went to COD office, there we met Mr.Charan Reddy and other inspectors. Mr. Charan Reddy told that those who have taken the clip please clarify. I will take you to DG, he will leave you by taking one apology letter. The same day afternoon Mr.Vijay came to COD office and after consulting with his staff he called me and said, if case is registerd in Maastek's name the amount which has to be given of about 8 to 10 lakhs, CCTV, systems and Recording equipment will be seized and until and unless the case gets solved. He even told to me that you go and approve the guilt, rest I will manage. On 5th morning along with venkatesh, srikanth and sagar I went to COD office they made us to sit till 5pm, I got frightened and asked my lawyer to come to COD office and after lawyer came and spoke to Mr.Bheemaiah admin in charge he told that if there is need of him we will inform, and afterwards I left COD office.

In the mean time Vijay ordered his brother by name Prabodh to bring 2lakhs cash which I do not know for what purpose, they took my mobile and there was no communication to communicate either with my family or lawyer. Around 9pm, SP Mr.Chandrasekhar called 2 constables and one inspector spoke to them and then they took me to lodge by name RAJA GALAXY around 11:30 PM, they toid me to enter the register in my own writing, they didn't provide my even food, they took me inside removed my clothes tied my mouth and legs and hit me and told me to agree otherwise we know what to do and they tortured me whole night. They instructed me to tell that I have given the pen drive to Sinchana Media. I was unable to bear the torture and around 1AM .I agreed to say according to their instructions. Next morning on 7th May 2010 on 8:30 AM they took me directly to COD Office. Sir you can actually ask Mr.Shafi and take their call details for that particular time and you would know the truth and even they threatened me that if you tell anybody that you were in lodge you will face dare consequences.

On 7th May 2010 morning I saw Mr.Vijay and SP Mr.Chandrasekhar sitting together and discussing the issue I was frightened and went and asked what is the issue they said nothing serious you just go and meet Vinayak he will look after everything. I went and met Mr.Vinayak investigating officer who is in charge of this case and made me to sit till afternoon, they registered FIR on my name and took me to Sinchana Media office and told me that we will show you the system there, you just go and open where the video has been copied which I do not know. From there around 6:30pm along with Mr.Vinayak, Mr.Marishetty and one constable they took me to Magistrate house, they told me that if you tell that they took to lodge and hit you we will register another case and you will be in serious trouble, as per their instructions when Magistrate asked me I replied I said they treated me very well and then they took me to judicial custody and arrested me. I was in judicial custody for one week and iam out of jail now on bail. Even after case has been registered and iam on bail they are harassing me and torturing me calling me all the time and saying that if you do not agree another

DIG Mrs.Malini Krishnamoorthy and Mr.Kishore Chandra are abusing me and scaring me during interrogation. They are sending constables to my house and simply torturing my parents when iam not there, iam mentally tortured and mentally depressed if the same thing continues Iam thinking of committing suicide due to the agony which my parents are facing due to COD Police harassments, in such case only COD Police has to be blamed and take responsibility of any extreme situation. My wellwishers and friends advised me to go and meet SHRC Justice S.R.Nayak. I would like to come out of this mental and physical torture which I have been facing from past one month, I hope that the culprits would be punished and. justice would be given to me on the above mentioned subject. I have complete faith in law and that you would provide justice to me. Iam herewith enclosing the Lodge Bill and FIR Copy Please help me out in this regards. Yours Sincerely,

Suresh M J
