Followers of Asaram Bapu today gathered at Jantar Mantar here and protested against the arrest of the self-styled godman for allegedly assaulting a 16-year-old girl at his ashram.
Asaram's supporters, including women, claimed he has been framed in the rape case and accused media of not showing the truth.
Earlier, Asaram's supporters raised slogans outside Indira Gandhi International Airport here when he was brought to Delhi from Indore in a flight before being flown to Jodhpur for interrogation.
72-year-old Asaram was arrested by the Jodhpur Police from his ashram in Indore.
