Guru Anand transferred to Mitra Kemayoran

JAKARTA: Prominent spiritual guru Anand Krishna has been transferred to Mitra Kemayoran Hospital, Central Jakarta, on Friday, after being treated for days at Harapan Kita Hospital, West Jakarta, for heart problems.

His lawyer, Darwin Aritonang, told kompas.com on Friday that he was removed to the second hospital for high blood pressure and diabetes treatment. "He is getting better now," said Darwin.

Anand is suspected of sexually harassing Tara Pradipta Laksmi, a student of his meditation class. She claimed that Anand sexually abused her. Earlier, Anand fainted after a medical check-up at the Jakarta Police clinic prior to his detention. He was taken to Soekanto National Police hospital in Kramat Jati, East Jakarta. - JP
