आसाराम को लगा ‘सुप्रीम’ झटका, SC ने जमानत याचिका पर सुनवाई से इनकार किया
Asaram has received a shock from the Supreme Court. The court refused to consider the bail plea of self-styled godman Asaram Bapu, convicted in the 2013 case of rape of a minor girl.
Asaram was arrested in 2013 for raping a minor girl. The crime is said to have taken place in Manai village of Jodhpur in August 2013. Following Asaram’s arrest, two women from Surat also filed complaints, alleging that Asaram and his son raped them between 2002 and 2005.
The criminal trial of the Jodhpur rape case began in 2014 and lasted for four years. She was convicted by the trial court in 2018 and sentenced to life imprisonment. His appeal against this is pending in the High Court.
