Gujarat High Court Denies Asaram's Temporary Bail to Meet Ailing Wife, Allows Video Call
The Gujarat High Court denied self-styled godman Asaram's plea for 20-day temporary bail to meet his 83-year-old wife undergoing hospital treatment. The court noted medical reports indicating her stable condition and expected discharge within days. Instead, it allowed Asaram, currently imprisoned for rape convictions, to request video conferencing with his wife.
