Yoga guru Ramdev and aide Balkrishna face Supreme Court in a contempt case over misleading COVID-19 cure claims by Patanjali Ayurved. Justices criticized their delayed apologies, questioning sincerity. The court noted Patanjali's significant yoga contribution but rejected apologies sent to media before court. The case stems from Patanjali's 2021 drug, Coronil, falsely touted as WHO-certified COVID-19 medicine. Ramdev's derogatory remarks on allopathy also sparked controversy. Patanjali claimed he was reading a forwarded message. The court emphasizes accountability for violating orders.
