The Supreme Court was informed on Tuesday (September 9, 2025) that the Chhattisgarh Police has filed a closure report in an FIR registered against Baba Ramdev over his remarks on the use of allopathic medicines during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Solicitor General Tushar Mehta conveyed the development to a Bench of Justices M.M. Sundresh and Satish Chandra Sharma. He further remarked that the complaints against the self-styled yoga guru appeared to have been “sponsored” by interested groups.

Ramdev should restrain from making ‘derogatory remarks’ against allopathy: Supreme Court

Senior advocate Siddharth Dave, representing Mr. Ramdev, submitted that while Chhattisgarh had filed its response in line with earlier directions, Bihar was yet to do so. Noting that only a solitary FIR in Bihar remains pending, the Bench observed that Ramdev’s plea for clubbing of multiple FIRs no longer survives.

“Your prayer does not survive now, only one FIR remaining in Bihar,” Justice Sundresh remarked.
