Asaram's Daughter Distances Herself From Father

IANS, 27 Apr, 2018 11:47 AM
    Distancing herself from her father and his empire, the daughter of convicted self-styled godman Asaram, stated on Friday that she had taken a different path a long time back.
     
     
    “The world outside believes that I am very much involved in the daily affairs of the ashrams, whereas the ashram management believes that I have been independent of the ashram for over 17 years,” Bharti told the media outside the Gandhinagar court.
     
     
    Bharti was at the court for a hearing where she and her mother Lakshmi have been named as accomplices in yet another rape case against Asaram.
     
     
    A Surat-based woman has accused Asaram of raping her multiple times between 1997 and 2006 at his centre in Ahmedabad. Four other women followers - Dhruvben, Jassi, Nirmala and Meera—have been named in the chargesheet for abetment of rape.
     
     
    A Jodhpur court sentenced Asaram this week to life imprisonment on charges of raping a minor.
     
     
    Claiming ignorance of Asaram’s future legal action, Bharti said: “The legal team in Jodhpur does not consult us. Whether they would go to High Court or not, they would take a decision. I have no knowledge.”
