Baba Ramdev
In April 2005, some of the 115 workers protesting at his medicine plant, in Hardwar in Uttarakhand, for better wages confided to Brinda Karat, a member of the Communist Party of India (Marxist), that his medicines used human and animal bones, including deer antlers. Karat collected and sent some samples for testing. Ramadev alleged that the samples may have been tampered with. Later on 4 January 2006, Health Minister Anbumani Ramadoss said that the tests confirmed presence of DNA of animal and human origin in the samples and instructed authorities in Uttarakhand to carry out a deeper investigation.

The yoga guru, Baba Ramdev, declared assets totalling at ₹1100 crores (about US$170 million) held by his various trusts in June 2011. He also owns the TV channel, Aastha. In 2009, it was announced that a Scottish island, Little Cumbrae, bought by a devotee of Baba Ramdev for GB£2 million (about ₹20 crore or US$3 million), would be converted into a yoga resort. His other assets include food processing and ayurvedic medicine plants. He is also known for his campaign against corruption and black money.

In July 2009, he filed a Special Leave Petition (SPL) in the Supreme Court against Delhi High Court's decision to decriminalize homosexuality.
