Madras HC was hearing habeas corpus petition over women allegedly “brainwashed” at Isha Yoga Centre in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu.
Coimbatore: The Isha Yoga Center in Tamil Nadu’s Coimbatore has come under scrutiny as police and social welfare officials launch an investigation following a Madras High Court order. This development stems from a petition filed by Professor Kamaraj, who claims his two daughters, volunteers at the center, are being held against their will and converted into monks.
Professor Kamaraj alleges that his daughters, Geetha and Lata, are being brainwashed and prevented from visiting their relatives. He also cited a POCSO case registered against a doctor associated with the center. During court proceedings, Geetha reportedly told her father she would fast until death unless cases against the Isha Yoga Center were dropped.
