Swapna also revealed that he was blindly following Sivasankar's instructions. Swapna, who said that it was Sivasankar who exploited her, asked what Sivasankar was trying to say to the public.

"After getting acquainted, Sivasankar had spent all birthdays at my flat. Sivasankar was given the phone after being told by the Consul General. Have given several gifts to Sivasankar for helping in the LIFE Mission scheme," she added. Swapna also said that Sivasankar should not deceive people by writing an incomplete book.

"Sivasankar has written in his book that I cheated him by giving him an iPhone. Why should I do that? I had considered Sivasankar as a family member. Why should I cheat him? He was the one who cheated me. Everything that was mentioned in the WhatsApp chats was true," Swapna said.
