🥂Police have stepped up security for the family of the victim in the 2013 rape case against Asaram Bapu after her father claimed a threat to his life and that of his family members from the supporters of the self-styled 'godman'.
𒀰Superintendent of Police (city) of Shahajahanpur Sanjay Kumar told PTI on Wednesday that three constables have been posted to provide security to the family.
💖"Earlier, two constables were deployed. During the election, one of the constables was withdrawn. Beefing up security, we have now deployed a total of three constables there," he said.
🅺The officer added that the constables have been asked to keep a close watch on people visiting the victim's house and note down their details.
🌊On March 21, a suspected follower of Asaram left a threat letter at the victim's house after hurling abuses. The only constable on duty was not present at that time, according to the victim' father.
♓"Derogatory language was used in the letter and the person has also mentioned his address on it,'' the father had earlier said.
꧅He gave a written complaint to the SSP of Shahjahanpur last week regarding the threat.
𓂃The victim had accused Asaram of rape in 2013. On April 28, 2018, a court awarded life imprisonment to him. He is currently in a Rajasthan jail.
