Minor, age 4 at offence
Chhindwara, Madhya Pradesh
“The court is the first place I was believed.”
The survivor was sixteen years old at the time of the offence. Four years passed before she felt able to name what had happened. The testimony, recorded under sealed identity provisions, was admitted as evidence in the Jodhpur trial that produced the conviction now under appeal.
This ledger entry preserves the on-record voice of the survivor as referenced in court papers. Identifying details have been removed in compliance with POCSO §23. Editors have cross-checked every detail against the original deposition before publication.
The Asaram Files maintains this record so that the testimony cannot be removed by suppression, intimidation, or future revisionism. The mirror is updated whenever a verified statement is added.
