Following a complaint lodged by two sisters against imprisoned self-styled godman Asaram Bapu and his son Narayan Sai on Sunday for sexual abuse, the Surat Police on Monday issued a lookout notice against Sai.
Confirming the development Surat Police Commissioner Rakesh Asthana said that the police have informed the immigration authorities about the grave offence registered against Narayan Sai as a precautionary measure so that he cannot leave the country.
The complaint against the father-son duo registered at Jhangirpura police station in Surat. However, the complaint against Asaram was transferred to Ahmedabad as the incident narrated by one of the girls was occurred there. According to the complaint the elder sister was sexually assaulted by the godman at his ashram situated in Ahmedabad.
Meanwhile, the parents of the two boys, who were found dead near Asaram’s Gandhinagar ashram five years back, went on a fast on Monday. They demanded to file charges against Asaram, his son Narayan Sai and their seven disciples.
On July 5, 2008, the decomposed bodies of two cousins, 11-year-old Abhishek Vaghela and 10-year-old Dipesh Vaghela were found on the banks of Sabarmati River behind Asaram’s ashram in Gandhinagar. Both the boys were studying at Asaram’s ‘Gurukul’ in Motera and had gone missing two days before their bodies were found. Parents of the deceased alleged that Asaram and his son practiced black magic which led to their death.
