Original photo by India Today proves that Baba Ramdev was admitted to hospital after a nine-day long fast in 2011 and not for taking excess cow urine.A picture of Baba Ramdev is being shared on social media that he had been admitted in All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) after taking excess cow urine as prevention from coronavirus.

On the reverse image search, the original photograph was found in a report published by India Today from 2011. Ramdev had broken his fast after nine days to protest against corruption and black money issues. He was admitted to the Himalayan Institute of Medical Sciences after he turned weak and deteriorated at his ashram in Haridwar.

A fact check by Newsmobile reports that the viral picture is from 2011.

Therefore, the claim that Baba Ramdev was ill due to overdosing on cow's urine to prevent coronavirus is false.
