The message said that other than Baba Ramdev, four other people were also injured. Along with the message, a few photos were also circulated. While one photo showed Ramdev being taken into an ambulance on stretcher another photo shows a crashed car with 'Sadasya Zila Parishad' written on the number plate.
But the news turned out to be fake and the photos dated back to 2011, when Ramdev had met with an accident in Bihar.
Meanwhile, the highway control officers have quashed all the rumours. "No such incident has taken place on the Mumbai-Pune highway. The messages are fake," an officer told DNA.
