Several disciples of late spiritual guru Osho Rajneesh wearing ‘sanyas malas’ on Wednesday forced their way into his ashram here in Pune in protest against the management’s purported plans to sell the Ashram land.

Since Tuesday, tensions have been building between a group of disciples and the OSHO International Foundation (OIF) management, which oversees the Ashram’s operations.
According to police, about 250 followers pushed their way into the Osho International Meditation Centre (OIMC) in the Koregaon Park neighborhood on Wednesday afternoon.
Police apprehended a man outside the Ashram after he became “violent” and attempted to harm officers.
