A Press Trust of India (PTI) wire report, carried by Business Standard on 26 April 2019, on a Surat sessions court's conviction of Narayan Sai, son of the Hindu guru Asaram Bapu, in a case brought by a woman who alleged he had raped her repeatedly between 2002 and 2005 while she lived at his father's ashram.
