A lawyer from Panipat in Haryana was arrested for allegedly providing logistics to godman Asaram’s son Narayan Sai when he was on the run in connection with a rape case before his arrest earlier this month.
Nishant Raj (28) was apprehended on Saturday after he was summoned by local police for questioning. “He reached Surat on Saturday and was arrested by police in the evening,” DCP (Crime) Shobha Bhutada said on Sunday.
According to police, Raj had assisted Sai “materially and logistically” and also provided the latter with a car. Sai was arrested on December 4 from Delhi-Haryana border after police chased his car, after evading the law for nearly two months in connection with the rape case.
