After Delhi High Court Warns Of Contempt Action, Ramdev Agrees To Delete Objectionable Video Against Roohafza

Expanding on its earlier order, the Delhi High Court demanded Ramdev and Balkrishna submit detailed affidavits explaining their “jihadi drink” comments against Hamdard’s Roohafza. The court warned that unsubstantiated disparagement of rival products could amount to corporate defamation and market manipulation. It highlighted how such statements—coming from influential figures—could incite consumer bias and inflict financial harm. The proceedings underscore the judiciary’s intolerance for unethical business practices and its commitment to maintaining fair competition. The case may set a precedent for holding public figures accountable for derogatory commercial claims.
