Supreme Court Reviews AIIMS Report on Asaram's Health; Rajasthan High Court Grants Parole
The Supreme Court received a medical report from AIIMS stating that 85-year-old Asaram Bapu, convicted of raping a minor in 2013, does not require hospitalisation but needs round-the-clock care. The court will hear his plea for interim bail on medical grounds on August 6. Meanwhile, the Rajasthan High Court granted Asaram a 20-day parole, criticizing a state panel for denying his earlier parole request despite his age and over 13 years in jail. Asaram's conviction and life sentence remain upheld.
