New Delhi: The
Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) Sunday began a preliminary
enquiry against yoga guru Baba Ramdev's aide Acharya Balkrishna,
who allegedly holds a fake passport, an agency official said.
"We received a complaint from the central government Saturday
night that Balkrishna allegedly holds a fake passport and today,
(Sunday) a preliminary enquiry has been registered," said the
official.
The investigative agency also received a complaint that
Balakrishna is having more than one passport.
"There are also allegations that that he is from Nepal and has
forged an Indian passport," said the official.
After the crackdown on Baba Ramdev's fast against corruption
earlier this month, the government asked security agencies to
probe the allegations that Balkrishna holds multiple passports.
Balkrishna, who resurfaced in Haridwar two days after mysteriously
disappearing following the crackdown, denied all the allegations
and asserted that he is an Indian and holds an Indian passport.
Baba Ramdev's business empire comprises 34 companies which are
controlled by Balkrishna.
