Arrested self-styled godman Asaram Bapu's son Narayan Sai, who is wanted in a rape case in Surat, was arrested by police from the Delhi-Haryana border on Wednesday.

According to TV reports, Narayan Sai, who had been on the run for the past 58 days, arrested in a joint operation between Delhi and Gujarat police.

Surat police had registered two complaints - one against Asaram and the other against his son Sai of rape, sexual assault and illegal confinement as alleged by two sisters on October 6.

Earlier on November 11, a local court declared Sai a proclaimed absconder under section 82 of CrPC, and asked him to appear before investigating officer or court within 30 days from the day of declaration of "proclamation for person absconding".

 

The elder of the two sisters has accused Asaram of sexually assaulting her between 1997 and 2006 at his ashram, while the younger sister has filed a complaint against Sai, accusing him of repeated sexual assaults between 2002 and 2005 at the Surat ashram.

Asaram, 72, was arrested on September 1 on allegations of sexual assault on a minor at his ashram in Jodhpur.
