Asaram was sentenced to life imprisonment till death for raping a teenage girl + studying at his ashram in August 2013. The disgraced “godman” was arrested in Indore on September 1, 2013 and has been lodged at the Jodhpur Central Jail ever since. While reading out the judgement, the judge said “In my humble opinion, Asaram not only broke the faith of the complainant but also spoiled the image of saints among common men.”
