The bail plea of self-styled godman, Asaram Bapu, was today rejected by a sessions court in Jodhpur. This is the sixth bail application of 74-year-old Asaram which has been rejected by the court. He was sent to jail in August, 2013 for allegedly sexually assaulting a 16-year-old school girl.
Citing the order of the court, the victim’s counsel, P C Solanki said, the court did not consider the arguments like the age of Asaram and delayed FIR by the girl. Subramanian Swamy, who was representing Asaram in the Court, had pleaded for his bail on Monday. The court had reserved the order for today.
