Hide column present in JSON of DataTable with server side processing

I followed this post: DataTable: Server Side Processing in ASP.Net
I am using this code to initialize DataTable:

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(function () {
        $('#example').dataTable({
            'bProcessing': true,
            'bServerSide': true,
            'sAjaxSource': '/data.ashx'
        });
    });
</script>

My JSON is something like this:

{    
 "iTotalRecords": "57",
 "iTotalDisplayRecords": "57",
 "aaData": [
  [
     "id001",
     "Name001",
     "Addr001",
  ],
  [
     "id002",
     "Name002",
     "Addr002",
   ]
  ]
}

I want to achieve same as below:

<table id="datatable">
   <thead>...</thead>
   <tbody>
     <tr id="id001">
        <td>Name001</td>
        <td>Addr001</td>
     </tr>
     <tr id="id002">
        <td>Name002</td>
        <td>Addr002</td>
     </tr>

     .
     .
   </tbody>
 </table>

NOTE:
To assign the id to <tr> I am using:

"fnRowCallback": function( nRow, aData, iDisplayIndex, iDisplayIndexFull) {
     $(nRow).attr("id",aData[0]);
     return nRow;
}

But it is not hiding the ID column. Please help.

Update: I found a perfect solution for my problem.
I must create my JSON as below 

 {    
 "iTotalRecords": "57",
 "iTotalDisplayRecords": "57",
 "aaData": [
  [         
     "0":"Name001",
     "1":"Addr001",
     "DT_RowId": "id001",
  ],
  [        
     "0":"Name002",
     "1":"Addr002",
     "DT_RowId": "id002",
   ]
  ]
}

Use aoColumnDefs to hide a column. Datatables example

$('#datatable').dataTable({
    aaData: aaData,
    "fnRowCallback": function(nRow, aData, iDisplayIndex, iDisplayIndexFull) {
        //console.log(nRow);

        $(nRow).attr("id", aData[0]);
        return nRow;
    },
    "aoColumnDefs": [
        {
        "bSearchable": false,
        "bVisible": false,
        "aTargets": [0]
        },
    ]
});​

Working fiddle
