Asaram Sentenced to Life Imprisonment – Who Is the Self-Proclaimed 'Godman'?

The Quint  

Asaram's growth did not come without controversy. The Gujarat government, in 1997, initiated litigation against Asaram's ashram over land spanning 34,000 square metres in Surat. Asaram was accused of illegally encroaching on the land that the government had acquired for public use, and in 2008, the Gujarat High Court ordered the return of the land to the original owners. In 2010, the Gujarat government once again took back the land of over 67,000 square metres that Asaram's ashram had encroached upon in Ahmedabad. The government also repossessed 70 acres of land that Asaram's family had purchased in the Sabarkantha region, allegedly after forging documentation.
