[edit]Baba Ramdev
[edit]In April 2005, some of the 115 workers protesting at his medicine plant, in Hardwar in Uttarakhand, for better wages confided to Brinda Karat, a member of the Communist Party of India (Marxist), that his medicines used human and animal bones, including deer antlers.[1][2] Karat collected and sent some samples for testing. Ramadev alleged that the samples may have been tampered with. Later on 4 January 2006, Health Minister Anbumani Ramadoss said that the tests confirmed presence of DNA of animal and human origin in the samples and instructed authorities in Uttarakhand to carry out a deeper investigation.[3]
The yoga guru, Baba Ramdev, declared assets totalling at ₹1,100 crores (about US$170 million) held by his various trusts in June 2011.[4][5] He also owns the TV channel, Aastha.[6] In 2009, it was announced that a Scottish island, Little Cumbrae, bought by a devotee of Baba Ramdev for £2 million (about ₹20 crore or US$3 million), would be converted into a yoga resort.[7] His other assets include food processing and ayurvedic medicine plants.[8] He is also known for his campaign against corruption and black money.[9]
In July 2009, he filed a Special Leave Petition (SPL) in the Supreme Court against Delhi High Court's decision to decriminalize homosexuality.[10]
