Baba Ramdev and Acharya Balkrishna Face Non-Bailable Warrant
Court issues non-bailable warrant against Patanjali leaders over misleading ads and legal violations.
- Patanjali’s Baba Ramdev and Acharya Balkrishna face legal action.
- Court issues non-bailable warrants over misleading health claims.
- They must appear in court by February 15.
In a surprising turn of events, Baba Ramdev, the renowned yoga guru and managing director of Patanjali Ayurved, along with Acharya Balkrishna, the co-founder, is now facing serious legal trouble. A court in Palakkad has issued non-bailable arrest warrants against both men in connection with a criminal case related to misleading advertisements.
The case stems from ads published in English and Malayalam newspapers, promoting Patanjali products for controlling high blood pressure and diabetes as miracle cures. The advertisements were allegedly false and in violation of advertising laws, leading to a lawsuit filed against them in October 2024 by Divya Pharmacy.

Despite being issued a bailable warrant earlier in February to attend court proceedings, Baba Ramdev and Acharya Balkrishna failed to appear, prompting the court to issue a non-bailable warrant. The court has now ordered them to appear by February 15, 2025.
This isn’t the first time that Patanjali leaders have found themselves embroiled in legal controversies, and the latest case has raised concerns about the authenticity of health claims made by the company. As this legal battle unfolds, it remains to be seen how it will impact Patanjali’s reputation and its extensive reach in the wellness industry.
