On May 1, 2025, the Delhi High Court criticized yoga guru Baba Ramdev for releasing a new video containing disparaging remarks against the herbal drink Rooh Afza, produced by Hamdard Laboratories. This action was seen as a violation of the court’s earlier directive to refrain from making such statements. The court remarked that Ramdev “lives in his own world” and is “not under anyone’s control,” expressing concern over his disregard for judicial orders .

In response to the court’s reprimand, Ramdev’s counsel assured that the video would be removed within 24 hours. The court also warned that failure to comply could lead to contempt proceedings. This incident adds to a series of controversies involving Ramdev, including previous instances where he made unsubstantiated claims about products like Coronil and derogatory remarks against allopathic medicine, leading to legal actions and court admonitions .
