Supreme Court Denies Interim Bail to Asaram, Allows Trained Caretaker in Jail
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 in jail. The court kept his bail plea pending and permitted him to approach again if his health worsens. AIIMS experts reported that Asaram requires continuous medical care but not hospitalisation. The court noted that Asaram had obtained a 20-day parole from the Rajasthan High Court without disclosing this to the Supreme Court.
