A 150-member police team visited Sadhguru’s Isha Foundation in Thondamuthur, Tamil Nadu, following a directive from the Madras High Court. The visit was prompted by a habeas corpus petition filed by S Kamaraj, a retired professor from Coimbatore, which raised concerns over pending criminal cases involving the foundation. The High Court has ordered the Tamil Nadu government to submit a detailed report listing all criminal cases registered against the foundation, led by spiritual guru Jaggi Vasudev.
Reason for High Court Order
The High Court’s directive came in response to the petition demanding clarity on the legal status of the foundation. It seeks comprehensive details of any cases and complaints, aiming for transparency and ensuring compliance with the law.
Police team visited Isha Foundation. Why?
The 150-member police team’s visit was conducted as part of this investigation to gather necessary information. The foundation, based in Thondamuthur, has been under scrutiny following allegations of encroachment and other legal disputes over the years.
Foundation’s Response
The Isha Foundation has maintained that it operates within the bounds of the law and is cooperating fully with the authorities. However, the ongoing investigation has drawn public attention, and the foundation is expected to provide detailed clarifications on these cases soon.
