Supreme Court Steps In: Controversy at Isha Foundation

The Supreme Court intervened in a case involving the alleged illegal confinement of two women at Isha Foundation's ashram. It halted a police probe and transferred a habeas corpus petition. The women reportedly stayed voluntarily, contradicting claims by their father.

The Supreme Court has intervened to halt a police investigation into alleged illegal confinement at the Isha Foundation's ashram in Tamil Nadu. This follows a habeas corpus petition claiming two women were held against their will.

A bench led by Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud directed the Tamil Nadu Police to refrain from further actions, aligning with the Foundation's challenge against a Madras High Court order.

The women, daughters of a retired professor, stated they were at the ashram voluntarily, countering their father's allegations made in court. The apex court awaits further updates, scheduling continued hearings.
