Indian Guru Sentenced To Life Imprisonment For Rape by KrystosCJ(m): 5:27pm On Apr 25, 2018
An Indian Court in New Delhi has sentenced a controversial, self-proclaimed spiritual guru Asaram Bapu to life imprisonment for raping a 16-year-old girl. This crime was committed in 2013. Thereafter, the family of the girl alerted police authorities after their daughter disclosed her nasty experience with Asaram Bapu.

Bapu's followers went on a rampage and engaged in series of violent clashes with law enforcement and other spiritual sects in New Delhi after the verdict was passed.

The guilty verdict was handed down Wednesday [today] amid high security at Jodhpur Central Jail in the western state of Rajasthan, according to local Police Commissioner Ashok Rathore. Asaram's spokesperson Neelam Dubey told reporters that his legal team will challenge the verdict in India's High Court.

Asaram was found guilty of sexually assaulting the then 16-year-old follower during a religious ceremony intended to cure her of evil spirits, held at his ashram [shrine] in Manai village near Jodhpur, on August 15, 2013. Asaram, who was 74 years old at the time of the incident, claimed he was physically incapable of rape, but police argued that medical tests found him to be in good shape.

Security has also been stepped up around the alleged victim's house, in the state of Uttar Pradesh.
