Ananda Marga demonstrators, Delhi, India

Apr. 18 India : Ananda Marga yoga group have recently been awaiting the arrest of their guru known as Amandi Murthi who is being prosecuted. The Ananda Marga held a demonstration demanding the release of Amandi Murthi near the parliament house in Delhi on April 24 1973 where many were taken into custody and beaten up by police for the violation of section 144 of the Indian Code. The issue has now become very controversial since an avadhot, a member of the organisation, is alleged to have committed suicide somewhere in the Old Fort which led to the arrest of some Ananda Marga and a CBS TV cameraman with his assistant. The cameraman and his female assistant have been charged with abetment of murder and involvement in the suicide or alleged murder case.
