In a startling development that has sent shockwaves across the region, a self-proclaimed spiritual leader known as baba Tarun Agarwal, also identified as Sonu, has been arrested by authorities in connection with a series of illicit activities uncovered at his ashram. The arrest, reported by indian Gems on X on Thursday, june 26, 2025, at 11:34 AM IST, comes after a police raid revealed a trove of incriminating items, exposing the dark underbelly of what was once perceived as a sanctuary for spiritual seekers.

Dressed in traditional saffron robes and sporting a long beard, the baba presents a stark contrast to the uniformed officers on either side, who stand with stern expressions. His hands are not visibly restrained, but the presence of the officers suggests he is in custody.

According to the report, the police seized a disturbing array of items from the ashram, including 2 kilograms of marijuana, sex toys, narcotic pills, Viagra, and various injections. This discovery has raised serious questions about the true nature of the ashram, which the baba had operated for 20 years in Goa, where he taught yoga to foreign visitors. What was marketed as a place of peace and enlightenment now stands accused of being a hub for illegal drug trade and other illicit activities.

This incident has sparked outrage and disbelief among the public, with social media reactions ranging from shock to calls for stricter regulation of self-proclaimed spiritual leaders. The arrest marks a significant blow to the credibility of such figures, echoing past controversies involving other high-profile gurus in India. Authorities are likely to investigate the extent of the baba’s network, including the source of the drugs and the involvement of others in the ashram.
