Bangalore, Jun 02: The Art of Living Foundation today claimed that the bullet was fired in the direction of its founder Sri Sri Ravi Shankar’s car and slammed Union Home Minister P Chidambaram and the state police for their versions about the shooting incident at its ashram on Sunday.
Police remained tight-lipped about the incident and the probe’s progress amid continuing controversy and conflicting reports about it.
Taking strong exception to Chidambaram’s statement on the incident, the AOL described it as “hasty and damaging”.
Chidambaram had stated that Ravi Shankar “may not” have been the target and the incident could be the result of a dispute between two of his disciples.
“Without any basis, one cannot jump to conclusions that there are conflicting groups or there was a brawl. Such a statement from a person holding such a responsible position was unwarranted.
