Victims of Choudhury alleged that he used his guru status to lure in women and then “crush anyone who speaks against him”.
According to the reports many of the alleged rapes or sexual attacks happened at Bikram's bi-annual, nine-week retreats, where those who wish to teach the special branch of yoga must pay $11,400 to learn from the master himself.
Mr Choudhury's method of Bikram Yoga, practiced at 105F (41C) heat, has become wildly popular in Britain and the US and its celebrity devotees include Jennifer Aniston, Lady Gaga and David Beckham.
