Image by IBN-Live by FP Staff 1 hour 7 mins ago * * * Self-proclaimed god-man Asaram Bapu's supporters on Saturday allegedly attacked IBN7's reporter Bhawani Deora and another IBN7 video journalist, reports CNN-IBN. The attack took place when the godman's supporters gathered outside Asaram's ashram in Jodhpur and took exception to the presence of the press.Bhawani was reporting on the updates in connection with the sexual assault case against Asaram. It seems that the supporters were particularly angry at Bhawani and asked him why his channel IBN7 was not referring to their leader as 'Bapu.' According to the IBN7 reporter Bhawani, there was no police presence outside the ashram and the police did not take the report that journalists were being attacked seriously. The supporters not only beat up the journalists, but also pelted stones on an OB van and broke their cameras. The reporters were luckily rescued by villagers. Reacting to the incident CNN-IBN editor-in-chief Rajdeep Sardesai said, 'It is shameful that someone who calls himself a godman is tangled in this. This is not an attack on just IBN7 but on the entire media. This has happened to other channels as well over the last few days. One should no longer call him Bapu cause that conveys reverence and this is clearly an attempt to stop the media as the media was exposing his land grab and sexual assault." Earlier on Friday, Asaram failed to catch a flight to New Delhi from Bhopal, after he was prevented from entering the airport due to a clash between his enraged supporters who smashed TV cameras and other equipment carried by reporters waiting for him. Asaram is accused of sexually assaulting a 16-year-old schoolgirl and inmate of his ashram. The 16-year-old minor's father said his daughter is still depressed over the incident.

The questions should be asked of the state govt, despite a FIR why has he not yet been arrested? Gehlot busy doing political calculations..arrest the budhau and give him a proper 3rd degree treatment to confess the crime and let him rot in jail for rest of his life

Yesterday 2-3 men came to our colony asking for 'chanda' in his name. Someone shouted from behind 'Rapists ko chanda nahi dete hum log'(We don't give money to rapists), at first they showed anger but then they realized that they are outnumbered they went away.

Look at the large number of people who are still seen attending his sessions. Our politicians reflect mood of the mass.

Full circle for this scumbag. Lets see if he calls the policeman that arrested him "brothers" and begs for him to be let go.
Pedophile like him are usually treated the same way they treated their victims by fellow inmates; that brother line is unlikely to come handy there.
