A controversial Indian spiritual guru has been jailed for 10 years on charges of raping two female followers.

Mobs have rampaged across an Indian town, leaving 12 people dead and buildings in flames, after a court declared a quasi-religious sect leader guilty of raping two of his followers, according to officials.

Police in northern India have arrested two men for allegedly raping a young woman for the second time in three years. She had refused to withdraw the first case against them.
