A Gujarat court today convicted son of self-styled godman and rape convict Asaram, Narayan Sai, in a rape case. The sessions court in Surat, which convicted Narayan Sai, said it will pronounce the sentence in the case on April 30. Narayan Sai was arrested in 2013 in rape of a Surat-based woman, who was a disciple of his father between 2002 and 2005.

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.
