On September 9, 2025, the Supreme Court heard that Chhattisgarh Police filed a closure report in an FIR against Baba Ramdev over his remarks on allopathy. The case began during the COVID-19 pandemic, when Ramdev’s statements created controversy and public debate.
The Indian Medical Association (IMA) lodged complaints, saying that Ramdev’s remarks on allopathy harmed COVID-19 control efforts and discouraged people from seeking proper treatment. Doctors argued that such claims spread misinformation at a time when medical workers were risking their lives.
During the proceedings, police told the court they found no evidence to continue the case. The closure report may end the legal dispute between Ramdev and the medical fraternity.
This case shows how sensitive public health discussions can become when influential voices make strong claims. While many still debate Ramdev’s remarks on allopathy, the closure report highlights how the legal system balances free speech with public safety.
