Vadodara: IMA seeks FIR against Baba Ramdev

VADODARA: The Vadodara branch of the Indian Medical Association (IMA) on Tuesday submitted an application of complaint at police commissioner’s office asking the police to file an FIR against yoga guru Baba Ramdev.
In line with the decision taken by its national body, other state branches have also approached the police over his recent statements.
At the same time, resident doctors also registered their protest against remarks made by Baba Ramdev by observing Black Day.
Dr Kailashben Parikh, president of Vadodara branch of IMA and Dr Paresh Majmudar, joint secretary of IMA Gujarat state branch along with Dr R S Patidar handed over the complaint.
The application asks police to invoke sections of the Indian Penal Code, Epidemic Diseases Act and Disaster Management Act besides other laws relating to sedition, a malignant act likely to spread disease, endanger human life, defamation, and to incite a class to commit an offence against another class.
“The complainant/IMA is constrained to file the present complaint on account of the malafide, nefarious and defamatory acts committed by Shri Swami Ramdev along with other unknown accused persons, which, in addition to having caused great agony and disrepute to the medical profession, are also offences covered under the law,” the application states.
