An Indian court has sentenced a self-styled spiritual guru to life imprisonment for raping one of his devotees.

Asaram was found guilty of assaulting the woman several times between 2001 and 2006 at his ashram in the western state of Gujarat.

The 81-year-old is currently serving a life sentence after he was convicted of raping a 16-year-old girl in 2018.
