An audio clip in which self-styled godman and rape accused Asaram is
purportedly heard offering bribe to a witness, who was killed later,
has been handed over to police by the victim's father.

The victim's father said the alleged conversation was recorded eight
months ago and he had got the tape from Kripal Singh, the slain key
witness in the Jodhpur rape case, Superintendent of Police
Shahjahanpur, Babloo Kumar said today.

Singh, who was attacked in Shahjahanpur on July 10, died in a Bareilly
hospital the next day. He was the ninth witness attacked and the third
one to have died.

"The authenticity of the audio clip is being verified and if proved
genuine, it will be used in investigations," the SP said, adding that
voice of 74-year-old Asaram will be matched with his voice recorded
earlier.

According to the girl's father, Asaram, in the purported clip, is
heard telling the witness that he would get "50% in advance and the
rest after the job is done."

The conversation was allegedly facilitated by two of Asaram's
followers - Raghav and Sanjay - who are also key suspects in Kripal's
murder. Asaram allegedly spoke to Kripal and his followers from jail.

Asaram had allegedly sexually assaulted the 16-year-old victim at his
ashram near Jodhpur in Rajasthan in 2013.

The girl's father said Kripal had handed over the clip to him so that
it could be used to prove that Asaram had access to a cell phone even
inside jail.
