Bareilly: Father of the minor girl, who accused self-styled godman Asaram Bapu of sexually assaulting her, on Wednesday alleged that the family received threats to desist from demanding a CBI probe, failing which they would have to face "dire consequences".
According to the father of the girl, Asaram's supporters visited the house of one of their close relative in Delhi on Wednesday and advised him to ask the family of the alleged victim to stop demanding a CBI inquiry into the case or else their "seven generations would be finished".
"They said that they would deal with whatever has happened till now... If we did not shut our mouth, not one in seven generations would be let off," he said.
"The threat had a big impact on our relatives and they are also worrying for their security," the father of the 16-year-old girl said, adding that he had apprised the police of the new threat and demanded adequate security.
Fearing more threats, he has also switched off his mobile phone.
Security has already been provided to the family and entry of visitors to their house is being monitored.
Asaram, 72, has been accused of sexually assaulting the girl at his ashram in Jodhpur.
