On Tuesday, Rajasthan High Court rejected the bail application of Asaram Bapu. A case of rape charges has been filed against this very famous self-styled godman. He was arrested by Jodhpur Police on 31st August, 2013 and is in jail since then.
This was Asaram Bapu’s 9th bail plea which has been clearly rejected by the Jodhpur Court of Rajasthan. The last application was sent to the court in the month of July and now with a new hope to get through his bail proceedings, Asaram sent another one in the beginning of this month.
Justice Nirmal Jeet Kaur, who rejected this current bail application, said “Since the trial of the case has reached its fag end, it is not appropriate to grant the bail.”
Whereas, P C Solanki, the prosecution counsel said, “The court also rejected the argument of defense because the trial of the case is taking long.”
The case involved accuse by a teenage girl against Asaram for sexual assault at his Manai village ashram near Jodhpur. She belongs to Shahjahanpur in Uttar Pradesh and has been a student at Asarams ashram.
