The Tamil Nadu police on Thursday, April 18, 2024, gave a clean chit to Isha Foundation and said that nearly all of the six volunteers who had gone missing from its yoga centre at the foothills of Vellingiri in Coimbatore district, had returned after having left the centre due to personal reasons.
The submission was made before a Division Bench of Justices M.S. Ramesh and Sunder Mohan who were seized of a habeas corpus petition (HCP) filed by C. Thirumalai (56) of Kulasekarapatti in Tirunelveli district stating his brother C. Ganesan had been missing since March 2023.
According to the petitioner, his brother was serving as a volunteer at the yoga centre. Suddenly, on March 2 this year, the petitioner had received a phone call from the centre asking whether his brother had come home and only then did he realise that something was amiss.
