Jalandhar police registered an FIR against Ramdev under section 295-A (deliberate and malicious acts, intended to outrage religious feelings of any class by insulting its religion or religious beliefs) on a complaint of Harpreet Singh, a member of Sikh coordination committee, police said.
Sikh organisations have taken exception to Ramdev's alleged act of placing a photograph of Sikh Guru on the floor while he himself sat on the stage at one of his Yoga camps in Talwandi Saboo in Punjab recently.
The photograph has been doing rounds on the social media since Sunday and people have been criticising Ramdev for the alleged blasphemy.
The yoga guru was recently booked by the Uttar Pradesh police for his "anti-Dalit" remarks targeting Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi.
