Tamil Nadu Police Dismiss Isha Foundation Allegations as Baseless
The police looked into claims that the Isha Foundation was doing bad things.
Someone made a video with these claims, and it led to an investigation.
The police talked to students and others connected to the foundation.
They found that the claims weren't true and closed the case.
The video was also considered harmful by a court and had to be taken down.
So, the police and the court both found that the original accusations were not valid.
Tamil Nadu police dismissed allegations against Isha Foundation as baseless.
The allegations stemmed from a video posted by YouTuber Shyam Meera Singh.
The video surfaced before Mahashivratri celebrations and triggered a police inquiry.
Investigators interviewed students, staff, alumni, and visitors.
The Delhi High Court previously deemed the video defamatory and ordered its removal.
