Asaram Bapu booked for sexual assault on minor


New Delhi, Aug 21, 2013 (IANS): Spiritual leader Asaram Bapu has been booked for sexual assault following a complaint from a minor girl, Delhi Police said Wednesday.

According to police, the minor submitted a written complaint against Asaram Bapu at Kamala Market police station in central Delhi Tuesday evening.

"We registered the complaint, but the girl said the incident occurred in Rajasthan, so the case will be forwarded to Rajasthan," a police officer told IANS.

Asaram Bapu, who has a large following, was earlier in the news after Gujarat Police filed a case of attempted murder against him and two others. He was also accused of illegal land-grabbing in Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh.

After the Dec 16, 2012 gang-rape of a 23-year-old student in a Delhi bus, Asaram Bapu attracted much attention for his remark that the victim could have escaped rape if she had called her attackers brothers, and pleaded to be let off.

    There should be a strict check on all powerful religious gurus, their inside activities and their secret funds.
    They exploit religion for their personal benefits and the ignorant poor fall for their tricks and the troubled and greedy middle-class are their organisers. These gurus target the richie rich and suck them to build their empire.
    Satyameva Jayathe!

    You hit the nail on the head!
    It would have been so peaceful if there were no religions at all.
    We wouldn't have had these Priests\Bishops, Maharishis\swamijis, nityas, Asarams and others like them.
    The Politician would have had nothing to to take advantage of based on religion.
    Oh still I wish it to happen and all will scrap religion.
    Then every one will be "BHAI BHAI".

    Importantly everyone will eat what they choose to eat and what they wanted, without any objection!!!!

    They are so holy, they are so god-like, miracles are performed, people become followers\dasis after drinking the elixir, barren women bear children (some hindi serials show how they do this) and now-a-days they are caught for illicit affairs\molestation\extorsion\ black mail\even murders and we call them SWAMIs - god's men!!! and rever them, hold them in awe, trust them implicitly and then fall into their trap.
    People should read News\follow news of these con swami's and take care not to fall into their trap.
    Most of them are fake.
    They are even go-in-between for politicians to work their black money.

    You can also spread the word that is if you read\watch\hear news especially these kind. Just whisper into your neighbours ears and ask him\her to pass it on too... so easy.
    Likewise they may tell you some news that you may not be aware of.
    It is sort of being neighbourly too!!!!!

    He is also an accused in a land grabbing case of a co. called Jayant Vitamins, 200 acres worth 700 cr!!Interestingly, though Jayant Vitamins did not complain about the matter, a shareholder of the company approached the Ministry with the complaint of mismanagement (of company’s properties) following which it (ministry) transferred the complaint to SFIO in 2010 for investigation!! And such type of people are followed and worshiped like Gods by the naive and gullible Indians!!
