Asaram's son Narayana Sai arrested

While the 72-year-old self- styled godman Asaram is languishing in Jodhpur jail for a sexual assault case lodged against him, the Delhi police on Wednesday arrested his absconding son Narayan Sai, an accused in a rape case.

Police were trying to find him for the past one month after the god-man's son was missing post an FIR filed against him in the Surat rape case. Later he will be taken to Surat for interrogation.

An FIR was filed in October against Sai and his father Asaram by two Surat-based sisters who had alleged that they were repeatedly sexually assaulted between 1997 and 2006 by the father-son duo at their ashrams in Surat and Ahmedabad while they were staying there.

Asaram and Sai had moved Gujarat High Court in November seeking quashing of FIRs registered against them.

After the two complaints were lodged at Jehangirpura police station in Surat, the plaint against Asaram was transferred to Chandkheda police station here because the alleged incident had taken place there.

The elder of the two sisters had allegedly accused Asaram of repeated sexual assault between 1997 and 2006 during the time she lived in his ashram on Ahmedabad city outskirts.

The younger of the two sisters had filed a complaint against Sai, accusing him of repeated sexual assault between 2002 and 2005 when she lived in their Surat ashram.
