The Delhi High Court directed yoga guru Ramdev on Monday to take down certain “offending” social media posts in relation to the use of “Coronil” for COVID-19.

Justice Anup Jairam Bhambhani said he was “allowing” a plea moved by several doctors’ associations against Ramdev.

“There are directions for taking down of some of the offending posts and content. There are directions to the defendant to take down those set of tweets in three days,” the judge said.

Three Resident Doctors’ Association of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences at Rishikesh, Patna and Bhubaneswar as well as Association of Resident Doctors, Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education & Research, Chandigarh; Union of Resident Doctors of Punjab (URDP); Resident Doctors’ Association, Lala Lajpat Rai Memorial Medical College, Meerut; and the Telangana Junior Doctors’ Association, Hyderabad had moved the high court in 2021 against Ramdev and others.
