SC orders registration of new FIR against Asaram for filing fake documents in connection with his health

New Delhi: The Supreme Court has ordered registration of a new FIR against self-styled god man Asaram for filing fake documents in connection with his health. The Supreme Court also levied a fine of Rs 1 lakh on Asaram. "We can't overlook that trial was unnecessarily prolonged & there were attacks on prosecution witnesses, two of whom have died," apex court said, reported PTI. It may be recalled that recently self-styled godman Asaram's son Narayan Sai, currently behind bars in a rape case, had moved a court here seeking temporary bail to contest assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh beginning next month. Sai moved an application before Additional Sessions Judge P S Gadhvi, stating he could contest on two seats--Sahibabad in Ghaziabad district and Shivpur in Varanasi. Seeking the relief, he stated that Ojaswi Party, of which he is one of the founders, wants to field candidates in the elections and that he needs to be out of jail to oversee the preparations. The court kept the matter for hearing on January 21. Sai was arrested for allegedly raping a Surat-based woman disciple of his father between 2002 and 2005. The woman had accused Sai of repeated sexual assault when she was living at Asaram's ashram in Surat. Sai has been lodged at Lajpore Central Jail here since December 2013. Asaram is also facing trial in rape cases and lodged in a jail in Jodhpur.
