Sachi Ghatna: Rape convict Asarm's son Narayan Sai keeps mum on his father's verdict

The verdict of a lifetime in jail slapped on self-styled godman Asaram for raping a 16-year-old girl has turned the spotlight on two other women who have charged the 77-year-old preacher with sexual assault and are awaiting justice.
A Jodhpur court today convicted and sentenced Asaram to a life in jail for the assault on the teenager, but another matter relating to the alleged sexual exploitation of two sisters is still pending before a court in Gandhinagar, Gujarat.
The sisters, based in Surat, had alleged they were raped and illegally confined by Asaram and his son Narayan Sai.
While Asaram was arrested in September 2013 in connection with the Jodhpur rape case, his son Sai was arrested in December 2013 over the complaint lodged by the sisters.
While the elder sister had accused Asaram of repeated sexual assaults in 1997�2006 at the Motera ashram in Gujarat, the younger sister had alleged that Sai sexually assaulted her from 2002 to 2005 at an ashram in Surat.
One of the sisters also alleged that Asaram's wife and daughter helped the two men rape the women.
Besides Asaram, the state police in its chargesheet filed in 2014 had mentioned among the accused his wife Lakshmi, daughter Bharti and four women followers --Dhruvben, Nirmala, Jassi and Meera.
Earlier this month, the Supreme Court had adjourned the bail plea of Asaram and pulled up the Gujarat Police for the delay in the completion of recording evidence in the case and directed it to conclude the process within five weeks.The verdict of a lifetime in jail slapped on self-styled godman Asaram for raping a 16-year-old girl has turned the spotlight on two other women who have charged the 77-year-old preacher with sexual assault and are awaiting justice.
