| Pronouncing its order on Delhi Police's midnight crackdown on yoga guru Baba Ramdev's camp in New Delhi, the Supreme Court has said that the yoga guru is guilty of negligence.
The incident took place on June 4-5 last year during his anti-corruption agitation.
The apex court had taken suo motu cognisance of media reports purportedly showing brutality of police action against the followers of Ramdev, including women and children, who were reportedly sleeping at the time of the crackdown.
Rajbala, a woman, had died due to the injury suffered in the police crackdown. In its order today, the Supreme Court announced a compensation of Rs. 5 lakh for her family. The court also said that Rs. 50,000 be given to those badly injured in the crackdown.
The court also rapped the Delhi police, saying the restrictions were unreasonable and unwarranted and that the police failed to establish an emergency situation prompting action.
Ramdev had alleged the police action was carried out on the instructions of their political masters and demanded action against all people who had directed the mid-night crackdown.
Delhi Police, however, claimed Ramdev had instigated his followers to indulge in violence, forcing the police to act at that time of the night.
Ramdev was agitating along with his followers against corruption and demanding that the UPA government must make sincere efforts to bring back black money illegally parked in secret foreign bank accounts by tax evaders.
