Asaram facing another rape case

After his conviction in a rape case in Rajasthan, all eyes are set on another rape case against Asaram Bapu in Gujarat. He is accused of raping a woman in Ahmedabad, and the case is being tried by a local court in Gandhinagar.

In Gujarat, Asaram and his son Narayan Sai, who is lodged in a jail in Surat, are facing rape and sexual assault cases in Ahmedabad and Surat respectively.

Two Surat-based sisters had lodged separate complaints against Asaram and his son, accusing them of rape and illegal confinement, among other charges.

The elder sister had accused him of repeated sexual assaults between 2001 and 2006 when she was staying at his ashram near Ahmedabad.

Recently, the Supreme Court had pulled up the Gujarat police for the delay in completion of recording of evidence, and had directed it to conclude the process within five weeks.
