Ashram deaths: Samiti seeks HC nod to hold 72-hr fast

September 1, 2008
AHMEDABAD: Denied permission to stage a fast, protesters of godman Asaram Bapu, who are seeking a thorough investigation in the mysterious death of two children – Dipesh and Abhishek Vaghela – have now approached Gujarat High Court.

The Jagega Gujarat Sangharsh Samiti, which has been supporting the boys’ parents in their struggle to get justice, has filed a petition seeking action against the police and home department for denying its members permission to sit on a 72-hour fast.

The organization has contended that taking to fasting is people’s birthright and the administration has erred by not giving them permission.

The application will come up for hearing before a division bench of acting Chief Justice MS Shah and Justice DH Waghela on Monday.
