Book Baba Ramdev for sedition, says petition filed in Bihar court

Baba Ramdev, founder of the Patanjali Group, is in the eye of the storm over uncharitable comments against the allopathic system of medicine, including coronavirus vaccines

Baba Ramdev has been dragged to court by a resident of this north Bihar town, who has prayed that the yoga guru be booked for sedition in the wake of his alleged disparaging remarks against modern medicine and its practitioners. The petition was filed in the court of the Chief Judicial Magistrate by Gyan Prakash through his counsel Sudhir Kumar Ojha, himself a serial litigant who remains in the news for petitions against top politicians, Bollywood stars and foreign heads of state. The petition filed before the court of Acting CJM Shailendra Rai in Muzaffarpur has dubbed Mr. Ramdev’s utterances as “fraudulent”, and sought invoking of IPC sections pertaining to sedition and cheating besides the Disaster Management Act.
