FIR against Ramdev for violation of model code

An FIR has been lodged against Yoga guru Ramdev for alleged violation of the model code of conduct and prohibitory orders by holding a press meet without the permission of the administration.

Sub Divisional Magistrate Vivek Srivastava said Ramdev addressed a press conference at the residence of a yoga centre coordinator after participating in a ‘yoga diksha’ programme yesterday.

He said the administration’s permission was not taken to hold the press conference due to which a case has been lodged against Ramdev and the coordinator.

Srivastava said the information has been sent to the Election Commission.
