New Delhi: The Supreme Court will watch the video of the June 5 swoop on Ramdev's fast against black money at the Ramlila Maidan on August 5.
The final hearing in the case will take place on August 16.
The court has also asked the Union Home Secretary to file an affidavit on the incident.
Security forces swooped down on Ramdev a little past midnight on June 5 and detained him after firing tear gas shells and resorting to lathicharge on his supporters to end his day-old indefinite hunger strike on black money issue.
Ramdev was demanding immediate action to bring back black money stashed in foreign tax havens. The dramatic police action came after government and the yoga guru had accused each other of betrayal.
The yoga guru had alleged that Home Minister P Chidambaram had ordered the midnight swoop.
