The Ramanagaram police are on the lookout for a man who threatened to kill Art of Living (AoL) founder Sri Sri Ravishankar.
The suspect, believed to be a resident of Mysuru, on his Facebook post on June 1, wrote in Kannada that Ravishankar should be shot dead for his remarks against government schools.
The post was found on the Facebook wall of a person identified as Harohalli Ravindra, said to be a Mysuru-based post-graduate student.
