Ganga and Jamuna, also called "sadhika" (women disciples), were accused of putting the victim in illegal confinement and thrashing the victim at Sai's behest.
They were also accused of trying to brainwash her into agreeing to have a relationship with Narayan Sai. Hanuman, a loyal "sadhak" (disciple) of Sai, was accused of abetment, including taking the victim to his room. Surat Police had filed a 1,100-page charge sheet against the main accused in 2014.
In 2013, after Asaram was arrested for raping a girl in Rajasthan, two Surat-based women accused Asaram and his son of sexual exploitation.
