An FIR in this regard had been lodged with Kukshi police station the same day in which some BJP leaders had been named. However, 16 hours after the FIR, the Home minister said he did not know about the accused. later, he accused BJP, in particular its leader Sushma Swaraj, of double standard over controversial godman Asaram Bapu issue.
