Passport case: Court to frame charges against Ramdev's close aide Balkrishna

DEHRADUN: A special CBI court will frame charges against Yoga guru Baba Ramdev's close aide Balkrishna in the fake passport case on September 24.

The court had earlier fixed the framing for today the charges against Balkrishna, who is presently out on bail.

Judge Pritu Sharma also accepted the application of Naresh Chandra Dwivedi, the co-accused in the case, requesting more time to appear before the court.

Balkrishna is accused of violating provisions of the Passport Act by submitting fake educational certificates and other documents to obtain a passport.

Dwivedi, the then principal of Sanskrit Mahavidyalaya, Khurja, in Uttar Pradesh, had allegedly helped Balkrishna to obtain the fake certificates.
