Why 150-member police team visited Sadhguru’s Isha Foundation in Tamil Nadu

The high court had ordered the Tamil Nadu government to submit the details of all criminal cases against the Isha Foundation while hearing a habeas corpus petition filed by S Kamaraj, a retired professor from Coimbatore.

Kamaraj alleged his two daughters were brainwashed to live at the Isha Yoga Centre in Tamil Nadu's Coimbatore. He said the foundation wasn't allowing them to remain in contact with their family.

Isha Foundation has denied the allegation. It said it doesn't ask people to attain monkhood.

"Isha Foundation was founded by Sadhguru to impart yoga and spirituality to people. We believe that adult individual human beings have the freedom and the wisdom to choose their path," the foundation said in a statement.
