Goa Police Order Cancellation of 'Kamasutra and Christmas' Programme

An NGO complaint about a poster tying Kamasutra themes to Christmas prompted directives that include event monitoring.

Overview

  • Police announced on X that organisers were told to cancel the programme and immediately remove all online advertisements.
  • The four-day event was scheduled for December 25–28 but drew sharp objections from local groups over its theme.
  • Authorities instructed local police stations to keep a close watch on upcoming events to prevent similar controversies.
  • The promotional poster named the Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh Foundation and listed facilitator Swami Dhyan Sumit of the Osho Ludhiana Meditation Society.
  • ARZ founder Arun Pandey filed a complaint with the Goa Crime Branch, alleging the promotion portrayed Goa as a sex destination.
