According to the information received from the police, the complainant said that while suffering from a chronic disease, his father Umesh Agarwal underwent treatment at Yoga Pharmacy at Krishna Nagar in Kankhal.

During the treatment, Ajay Magan and his wife Pooja Magan allegedly spoke of some therapies and assured them that using these therapies would prevent any diseases. It was also said by Ajay that they are going to open a hospital for providing therapies in Haridwar soon.
