Ahmedabad: A local court in Gandhinagar remanded Asaram Bapu to four-day custody of the Ahmedabad police in connection with a second case of sexual assault against the controversial preacher.
Asaram, already facing jail term in Jodhpur for sexually assaulting a 15-year-old school girl, has again been accused of rape by one of the two Surat-based sisters at his Ahmedabad ashram between 1997 and 2006.
The younger sister, around 40, has accused Asaram's son Narayan Sai of raping her between 2002 and 2005 when she was living in their Surat ashram.
The public prosecutor argued in court that the custody of Asaram was necessary for further investigation into the case.
Meanwhile, hearing on the anticipatory bail application filed by Narayan Sai in a Surat court has been deferred till October 17.
