The AYUSH ministry on Tuesday filed a formal complaint with the Delhi Police asking them to probe the alleged 'fake' Right To Information query, in which journalist Pushp Sharma alleged that the Centre's discrimination against Muslims in the Yoga teachers' selection process for International Yoga Day is fabricated, adding that he has proof that all the RTI replies in his possession are authentic.

The Delhi Police have picked Sharma from his residence today evening for questioning and they are going through the complaint.

Apparently, Pushp Sharma has been arrested in connection with his story published by The Milli Gazette and other media outlets, portals and channels about an RTI reply received from the AYUSH ministry saying that as per the government policy, it did not recruit any Muslim as Yoga trainer.

Earlier, the ministry rejected a purported 'fabricated and mischievous' RTI reply which had claimed that the Centre does not recruit Muslims in the ministry as a policy.
