SURAT: The faith of the family members of the accused and witnesses in tainted religious leader Asaram is proving to be a major hurdle in the investigation by police in the rape case and Rs 13-crore bribery scam against Narayan Sai. Despite the registration of complaints against Asaram and his son Sai, their supporters, which include relatives of a few witnesses, still continue to visit their ashrams and offer them support, sources said.

"The accused arrested in the bribery case are not willing to share details with the police as their family members are sadhaks of Asaram's ashram. Women relatives of a few accused, who were nabbed in the bribery case, are living in the ashram. This is creating pressure on the accused and they are not willing to cooperate in the ongoing investigation," said a police officer.
