New Delhi: Yoga guru Baba Ramdev, who was detained at Heathrow airport in London for eight hours by British customs officials, was released yesterday.
Ramdev’s spokesman S K Tejarawala said, he was neither asked any question nor his luggage was checked. He said: “Swamiji felt harassment there.” 
Ramdev was reportedly questioned by the customs officials as he travelled to Britain on a visitor visa instead of a business visa, and he was also questioned about certain medicines he was carrying with him. “This incident is a case of gross insult to the pride and prestige of 125 crore Indians,” the spokesman said
