Asaram Bapu Witness Killed

Security has been provided to the family of Akhil Gupta, a witness in the rape case against Asaram Bapu in Surat, who was shot dead in January 2015, ahead of the godman's verdict in Jodhpur today, police said.

A day after Dera Sacha Sauda chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim was sentenced to 20 years in jail, another self-styled godman's rape case is under the Supreme Court's scanner. In the last four months, the Supreme Court has asked the Gujarat government twice to expedite a rape trial involving Asaram Bapu.

The Uttar Pradesh government has recommended a CBI inquiry into the death of a witness in a rape case against spiritual guru Asaram Bapu.
