"I am very happy that Asaram has been punished. It sets a very good example for all potential sexual offenders in the country, especially those who think they are rich and powerful and can get away with violating our women and children," said Rakhi.

She added, "But why not the death sentence in this case? The girl is a minor...No bail, no life for child rapists. When a respected figure like an uncle or a spiritual guru misbehaves with an innocent girl she is robbed of something far more valuable than her virginity. She loses trust in mankind."
