Oza argued the statements of those who have left Asaram's ashram (where the sisters had once resided) have been taken but the same has not been done in the case of people who were in the ashram then and are staying now.
This denotes the prejudice behind the lodging of FIR, he added. The delay in filing the FIR has not been properly explained and it contains no independent statement pointing to commission of the crime, Oza said.
The FIR, he said, is a concentrated effort to put the entire family (of the controversial guru) behind bars.
