January 21, 2014 21:47

Controversial godman Asaram's son Narayan Sai's close accomplice Jamna today surrendered before the police in connection with a rape case registered against him by one of two city-based sisters.

Jamna, who is said to be mother of Sai's son, had evaded questioning by police since he was arrested on December 4 in connection with the rape case. "Narayan Sai's female disciple Jamna, with whom Sai had fathered a child, surrendered today before Surat police. We will arrest her and produce her before court tomorrow," DCP (Crime) Shobha Bhutada told PTI.

Police said Jamna had been named in the original FIR and her interrogation will strengthen the case against Sai. Jamna had informed police that she was in an ashram in Madhya Pradesh. Sai was apprehended from Haryana-Delhi border after evading arrest for nearly two months in the sexual assault case lodged against him by an inmate of his Surat-based ashram.
