Verdict Has Shown That Even Weakest Can Take on the Mighty, Says Officer Who Supervised the Probe
IPS officer Ajay Pal Lamba, who supervised the investigation in the rape case against self-styled godman Asaram Bapu, today hailed the court verdict in the matter saying it showed that even the weakest can take on the might of the most influential as truth had prevailed.
Jaipur, Apr 25 (PTI) IPS officer Ajay Pal Lamba, who supervised the investigation in the rape case against self-styled godman Asaram Bapu, today hailed the court verdict in the matter saying it showed that even the weakest can take on the might of the most influential as truth had prevailed.
A Jodhpur court had awarded a life term to the godman after finding him guilty of raping a teenage girl in his ashram five years ago.
It is heartening to witness that if the law of land is implemented impartially, then even weakest can afford to take on the might of most influential persons like Asaram, Lamba said in a Facebook post.
“Finally truth prevailed. Justice delivered in Asharam Bapu case with conviction of accused Asharam in a case of sexual assault on a minor girl during the night of Independence Day of 2013. Judgement is a landmark in criminal jurisprudence in the country,” he added.
Lamba had supervised Asaram's arrest from Indore as well as the investigation when he was posted as Deputy Commissioner of Police (West) in Jodhpur city.
The 2005-batch IPS officer, currently posted as SP, Anti Corruption Bureau, in Jodhpur, also thanked members of his team members associated with the probe.
