Asaram Bapu will appear before DK Trivedi Commission 08.09.2011 | 17:45 Ahmedabad Vijay Shah



Asaram Bapu, who is embroiled in a murder case, has submitted an application to the Justice DK Trivedi commission and agreed to appear before the commission probing the mysterious death of two boys in an Ashram in 2008. The commission had summoned Asaram Bapu and his son Narayan Sai for questioning in the case several times, but the duo failed to appear till date.

“Bapu and his son wrote a letter to commission and agreed to appear before it, but only after commission completes the questioning of all the twenty witnesses in the case.” said BM Gupta, lawyer of Asaram Bapu and Narayan Sai.

Asaram had alleged that some political parties, NGOs and his former disciples have launched a campaign to defame him and they are using the commission as a platform.

The ashram authorities had filed a petition before the Gujarat High Court challenging the summons, which was withdrawn earlier this month.

Cousins – Dipesh (10) and Abhishek Waghela (11) – were found dead in July 2008 on the Sabarmati river bank behind the Motera ashram with their bodies mutilated.

Since the children were staying at the Motera Gurukul, parents demanded a thorough probe against the ashram's office bearers and accused them of indulging in black magic at the behest of the spiritual leader, which might have been the cause of death.

The Justice DK Trivedi Commission has been made constituted by the state government. The commission would look into the facts pertaining to the circumstances leading to the death of the two children.

  1. Its seems there is no work left but to keep a track of what is going after Hindu saints. It seems some Indian mindset are inclined towards looking things only in negative prospective and any postive and brighter side of Hinduism is simply negated.Shame on the so called psedu journalism.
