Supreme Court Denies Interim Bail to Asaram, Allows Trained Caretaker Assistance
The Supreme Court denied interim bail to Asaram, serving a life sentence for sexually assaulting a minor in 2013, but allowed him to engage a trained caretaker for round-the-clock assistance. The court kept his plea for bail on health grounds pending and permitted him to approach again if his condition worsens. Experts from AIIMS recommended medical assistance without hospitalization. The Rajasthan High Court had earlier granted Asaram a 20-day parole and upheld his conviction and sentence.
