An FIR was filed in Jaipur against yoga guru Ramdev, Patanjali CEO Acharya Balkrishna and four others for allegedly "misleading" people by propagating Patanjali Ayurved's drug Coronil as a cure for the infection.

The Coronil tablet was launched last Tuesday for treatment of coronavirus patients. "We've prepared the first Ayurvedic-clinically controlled, research, evidence and trial based medicine for COVID-19. We conducted a clinical case study and clinical controlled trial, and found 69% patients recovered in 3 days and 100% patients recovered in 7 days," Baba Ramdev said at the launch event.

"We conducted a clinical case study on hundreds of positive patients and we have got 100 per cent favourable results," CEO of Patanjali Ayurved Acharya Balkrishna had claimed.

The launch of the drug Coronil by yoga guru Ramdev on June 24 triggered a debate after which the Ayush Ministry sought all information on its trial and put a ban on advertising it as a drug to cure coronavirus.
