The Enforcement Directorate filed a 'prosecution complaint' against jailed godman Asaram's son Narayan Sai under the PMLA in a bribery case. Sai, arrested in a rape case in 2013, is lodged in the Surat jail. Through the complaint, filed with the special PMLA court in Ahemedabad, the ED has sought prosecution of Sai and others for money laundering, the agency said in a release.

The father of the girl who was raped by Asaram Bapu in 2013, welcomed the conviction of the godman and said he was "happy to get justice". Talking to reporters outside his house in Shahjahanpur district, the victim's father said they had full faith in the judicial system. However, he said that that their struggles during the period had tested their grit and patience.

The ICC has issued an apology for retweeting an old video of PM Narendra Modi and jailed self-styled godman Asaram, with the caption, "Narayan, Narayan". Adding it was "dismayed" at the non-cricket related tweet on its feed, the ICC said, "We've launched an investigation into how this happened." Asaram was on Wednesday sentenced to life imprisonment for raping a minor.
