Asaram, who started from a hut on the banks of the Sabarmati, created an Rs 10,000-crore empire with 400 ashrams in India and other parts of the world in four decades. The charge sheet against Asaram and the four other co-accused was filed by the police on November 6, 2013, under various sections of the POCSO (Protection of Children from Sexual Offences) Act, the Juvenile Justice Act, and the Indian Penal Code. The teenager had said in her complaint that Asaram had called her to his ashram in Manai area near Jodhpur and raped her on the night of August 15, 2013. The 16-year-old girl from Shahjahanpur in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh was studying at Asaram's ashram in Chhindwara in the central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh. "We had complete faith in the judiciary and are happy that we got justice," her father told journalists after the verdict. The family, he said, was living in constant terror and their business was hit. Ahead of the verdict, security was stepped up in Jodhpur where prohibitory orders were imposed. Apprehending a threat to law and order, the Centre had asked Rajasthan, Gujarat and Haryana governments to tighten security and deploy additional forces as the three states have a large number of Asaram followers. The Union Home Ministry had sent an advisory fearing a repeat of the violence in the northern Indian states of Punjab and Haryana that followed the conviction of Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh in August last year when several people were killed.
