Dogs were target, not guru

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar




No case against farm owner


The farm owner, identified as Mahadev Prasad, was detained for some time on Saturday, but was let off after questioning. No case can be made against him. "The farm is adjacent to the ashram. The owner says he fired two rounds from his .32 caliber pistol. One of the bullets injured Vinay (a follower of Sri Sri Ravi Shankar)," Karnataka Director General of Police Ajay Kumar Singh told reporters in Bangalore.

Sri Sri only heard a loud sound
With both, the guru and his devotees, telling the police they only heard a loud sound and did not know it was a firing till the bullet was found, police questioned the people around the area to find who had a .32 caliber pistol.
Asked why Prasad had not approached the police to clarify the situation, Singh said the owner had stated that since he had fired the bullets around 6 pm and reports about it came more than four hours later, he thought someone else had done it.
