Asaram believed that sexual exploitation of girls is not a sin for ‘Brahmgyani’ or a highly enlightened person, a prosecution witness said to the court during the trial. Asaram also used to take medicines to increase sexual prowess, said prosecution witness Rahul K Sachar, who was himself an Asaram follower in his deposition forming part of the 453-page judgment convicting the godman. Sachar, who was close to Asaram and had access to his ‘kutiya’ or abode, deposed that he had seen Asaram molesting girls in his ashrams in 2003 in Pushkar (Rajasthan), Bhiwani (Haryana) and Ahmedabad (Gujarat). For this purpose, he used to give signals to three girls, who used to stay with him, by throwing torch light. On getting the ‘signal’, the girls used to take the targeted girls to his room in Kutia. One evening in Ahmedabad, Sachar deposed, he climbed the wall of the ‘kutiya’ and saw the godman molesting the girl. He then wrote a letter questioning why he was doing this to girls and handed over the letter to the cook. Asaram read the letter but ignored it. The follower sent a second letter to Asaram, but he chose not to respond to it, following which he forcefully entered the ‘kutiya’ and asked why Bapu was quiet on his questions. The response of Asaram was, “’Brahmgiani ko ye sab karne se paap nahi lagta.’ (It’s not a sin for a ‘Brahmgyani’ or a highly enlightened person to do so). Sachar had further told the court that Asaram also used to take medicines for increasing his sexual power and used to consume opium. Codeword for opium was ‘Panched Buti’. The prosecution witness had also disclosed to the court that the three girls staying with Asaram were also involved in abortion of the godman’s victims. -PTC News-
