INDORE:Â Controversial godman Asaram Bapu, accused of sexually assaulting a minor, was arrested by Jodhpur police from his ashram here late Saturday night.
Armed with a medical report that the godman was fit to be interrogated, a team of Jodhpurpolice arrested 72-year-old Asaram and whisked him in a white jeep about half an hour after the stroke of midnight, after waiting for nearly eight hours at the ashram.
“Asaram Bapu has been arrested and taken away by Jodhpur police”, superintendent of police (Indore West) Anil Singh Kushwah told reporters here.
Asked where Asaram was taken to, Kushwah said, “I have no information on that”, amidst reports that he was headed to Indore Airport to be flown to Jodhpur where an FIR was filed by a 16-year-old girl alleging she was sexually assaulted by the godman at his ashram in the Rajasthan city.
