Jailed self-styled godman Asaram, who was also referred to as 'Bapu' by his disciples before rape charges were pressed against him by many victims, has also been charged with indulging in "unnatural sex" with several victims.

According to the chargesheet provided to the Press Trust of India by a magistrate's court in Gandhinagar on Wednesday, the godman indulged in unnatural sex in the form of oral sex (under section 377 of Indian Penal Code) with the Surat-based victim (who lodged the case) and six other girls.

The 1,000-page chargesheet charges Asaram with violating section 376 (rape), section 377 (unnatural sex), section 342 (wrongful confinement), section 120 B (criminal conspiracy) and section 201 (causing disappearance of evidence of offence) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), among other charges.

According to the chargesheet, between 2001 and 2007 (years of stay of the victim), she was repeatedly sexually abused by Asaram with the help of other accused in the case.

Those named in the chargesheet apart from Asaram, are his wife Lakshmi, daughter Bharti and four women followers Dhruvben, Nirmala, Jassi and Meera who have been charged with abetment, illegal confinement and conspiracy.

The two Surat-based sisters had spoken out about their sexual exploitation at the hands of Asaram and his son Narayan Sai after the godman was arrested in the first case.

The Surat police had on October 6 last year registered complaints filed by two sisters -- one against Asaram and the other against Narayan Sai -- of rape, sexual assault, illegal confinement and other charges.

The complaint against Asaram was transferred to Chandkheda police station in Ahmedabad since the incident had taken place in that ashram.

The elder of the two sisters, in her complaint, had accused Asaram of sexual assault between 1997 and 2006 during the time she had lived in his Ashram on the outskirts of Ahmedabad city.

The younger sister had filed a complaint against Sai, accusing him of repeated sexual assault between 2002 and 2005 when she lived in their Surat ashram.

Asaram is now lodged in Jodhpur jail while Narayan Sai has been arrested by the Surat police and is now in judicial custody.
