Controversy

Gail Tredwell's biography led to a huge controversy during February to March 2014 in Kerala where the Mata Amritanandmayi Ashram is located. The book alleges that a senior follower of the ashram, Balu, had a forced sexual relationship with the author for many years. It also alleges that Amritanandamayi behaved in a very rude and aggressive manner and abused the author for many years.[3][4][5]

After publishing the book Holy Hell, the first interview with Gail was publish www.dailyindianherald.com, online news paper. This interview was prepared by its chief editor VINCE MATHEW, he was living in Perth Australia, but an Indian National, Kerala, Kottiyoor resident.

The mainstream media of Kerala was reluctant to report allegations made in the book. TV channels Indiavision, Reporter, Media One TV and newspapers Thejas and Madhyamam reported the news.[2][6]

Later TV channels People TV and Kairali TV telecasted an exclusive interview with Tredwell in two episodes, disregarding a legal notice from the Amritanandamayi Ashram. Kairali TV managing editor John Brittas had gone to New York to make the interview with Tredwell.[7] The Ashram initiated legal proceedings against the two channels and news presenter John Brittas for conducting the interview. The Press Club of India asked Amritanandamayi Ashram in Kerala to withdraw the case.[8]

In accordance with an order from Ernakulam Judicial First Class Magistrate Court, on 11 March 2014, Kerala Police registered a case against Gail Tredwell along with media organizations who reported the news, in response to a petition.[9] The case was booked under Sections 153A (Promoting enmity between different groups on ground of religion, race, place of birth, residence, language, etc., and doing acts prejudicial to maintenance of harmony), 153B (imputations, assertions prejudicial to national integration), 295A (deliberate and malicious acts intended to outrage religious feelings of any class by insulting its religion or religious beliefs), 298 (uttering words, etc., with deliberate intent to wound religious feelings), 120B (criminal conspiracy) and 34 (acts done by several persons in furtherance of common intention) of the Indian Penal Code.[2]
