He said.. “I thank all the Telugu people who are suffering for me. But I am saying again and again.. CID officials did not bother me. Everything was done legally. Treated very methodically as per court orders. I also fully cooperated with them. Thanks to everyone who came for me.. Congratulations to those who suffered for me. Journalism is people, truth is once again true. I resorted to legal systems to protect my rights. I assisted in the two-day investigation. No one should worry for me.. My condolences to the leaders, ex-ministers, Telugu Desam, Janasena CPI, CPM and all other parties who came for me,’ said TV 5 Murthy.
AP CID called TV 5 Murthy for investigation on previously registered cases. But when Murthy refused, permission was obtained from the court. The court decided that Murthy should be questioned in the presence of a lawyer. However, Murthy’s lawyer, who had gone earlier, noticed that the CCTV cameras had not been installed and immediately filed a petition in the High Court. Murthy attended the hearing as the High Court took it up for hearing and said that CCTV cameras should be available.
The CID officials interrogated TV 5 Murthy for two days. The Andhra Pradesh Police has filed a case against Murthy, alleging that he had broadcast a news on TV 5 regarding the members of governing body appointed in the past in Andhra universities.. It was a crime to show that note file on TV screen. In addition to this case, it seems that the CID officials have called for investigation for spreading false propaganda against the AP government. However, TV 5 Murthy did not say anything about these cases.. but about the questions asked in the investigation. As they are court matters, Murthy said that his lawyer will discuss those matters.
