Ramdev stopped in UP and sent back to Haridwar


Muzaffarnagar, June 5 (PTI) After his hunger strike was
broken up in Delhi, yoga guru Baba Ramdev's bid to return to
Delhi was thwarted on Sunday night by Uttar Pradesh police who
intercepted and sent him back to Haridwar.
The car carrying Ramdev was stopped by UP (northern
Indian state) police at Muzaffarnagar's border with Roorkee,
Uttarakhand (another north Indian state), at around 1930 hours
as prohibitory orders were in force, Muzaffarnagar district
officials said.
Earlier in the day, the yoga guru was evicted from
Ramlila Ground in Delhi, where he had launched the fast
against black money, and bundled out to Dehradun from where he
drove to Haridwar.

"Baba Ramdev was stopped at Bhoora Rodi check post on
UP Uttarakhand border while he was attempting to enter the
state border this evening," police spokesman Rajiv Mehrotra
said.
