The Chennai Police on Wednesday registered an FIR against seven Europeans running a controversial yoga centre in the city. The police action comes a day after Headlines Today aired a report on the activities of the centre, which allegedly gave tantric yoga lessons for enhanced sexual life.
The police have also written to the Bureau of Immigration asking it to freeze the passports of the Europeans running the centre. The group of foreigners running the centre has been missing since the report. The so called yoga cult, Misa-satya, has been operating in Chennai for two years. A few days before the police action, Headlines Today attended a camp organised by the group.
The centre ran into trouble with the allegation being levelled that it indulged in distribution of pornographic material by mixing yoga with sex. Its Romanian instructors have also been accused of running a business in India despite holding tourist visas.
