Patanjali Ayurveda of Baba Ramdev's company in India has gone to Delhi High Court against a probe agency of the Central Government. In fact, the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) has seized 50 tonnes of sandalwood sticks from Patanjali Group. These sticks were being sent to China by Patanjali Group. Patanjali Group has gone to Delhi High Court against this move of DRI.

DRI has seized the sandalwood and other documents related to passport and export of Patanjali Group representative.

According to the Economic Times report, Patanjali Group has the permission to export C grade sticks. But investigating agencies suspect that sandalwood sticks being sent out include the wood of grade-A and grade-B.

Patanjali Group has dismissed the words of breaking the rules in any way. Patanjali Group said, "We have not exported so far and are in the process of sending it out now. We have purchased these sticks from Andhra Pradesh Forest Development Corporation Limited and have not done anything wrong. Responding to an e-mail, the Patanjali Group said that he has permission to export all the documents included in the export process, purchase orders, Performa invoice, timber on Krishnapatnam port, rate of timber and export of C category timber and the license are available.

It has been told from Patanjali that Andhra Pradesh Forest Development Corporation Limited has examined all these things. Patanjali Group spokesperson said that it could be the result of the plot of opponents. The group said, "This investigation has been done due to some misleading and false information given by some vested interests. The group said that there is no question of export of A or B category timber.

The investigating agency DRI has said that Patanjali can not export these goods until the entire investigation is completed. At the same time, Patanjali Group has requested the Delhi High Court to release seized timber.

Let tell that Patanjali bought these sandalwood sticks in an auction conducted by the Andhra Pradesh Forest Department. The export of finest quality sandalwood wood from India is restricted. However, normal types of timber can be sent out. China is the biggest buyer of sandalwood wood.
