Gujarat High Court Denies Asaram's Temporary Bail to Visit Ailing Wife, Allows Video Call
The Gujarat High Court denied self-styled godman Asaram's plea for 20-day temporary bail to visit his 83-year-old wife, who is hospitalized in Ahmedabad. The court cited medical reports indicating her stable condition and expected discharge within days. Asaram, serving life sentences for rape convictions, was advised to seek permission for video calls with his wife through the jail superintendent. This marks the second recent denial of his bail request on humanitarian grounds.
