‘No Case Here': Cops File Closure Report On Sexual Abuse Complaint At Isha Foundation School
Acting on the complaint, the investigating team had questioned 61 students at the Isha Home School, Isha Samskriti
The Perur police station in Coimbatore has filed a closure report into a complaint filed last year alleging sexual abuse of minor girls at a school of Jaggi Vasudev's Isha Foundation. Acting on the complaint, the investigating team questioned 61 students at the Isha Home School, Isha Samskriti. Further, 13 people working at the centre since 2017, including staff, visitors and volunteers, were also questioned. None of them corroborated the allegations, according to police.
The statements of Social Welfare officer and CWC member who were part of the probe team were also recorded. The emails used for alleging sexual abuse in Isha schools, too, remain unproven, according to police .
Hence, no prima facie case can be made out, according to police.
The petitioner had lodged the complaint based on a video by Youtuber Shyam Meera Singh. Singh had made a serious allegation that instances of sexual harassment were reportedly seen among young girls at the Coimbatore school, raising significant concerns for the community.
The Delhi High Court ordered Singh to take down the YouTube video on Sadhguru and Isha Foundation, after a defamation suit was filed by Isha Foundation.
The Isha Foundation had also filed a defamation suit against the Tamil media outlet Nakkheeran accusing them of publishing allegedly defamatory videos. Vasudev had sought the removal of the videos and demanded Rs 3 crore in damages.
