Jodhpur: A court in Jodhpur today rejected the bail application of Asaram in a case relating to sexual assault of a minor.
The bail plea of Asaram, who is behind bars since September 2013, was argued by Bharatiya Janata Party leader Subramanian Swamy in the district and sessions court in Jodhpur on Monday. The court, after hearing the arguments, had reserved its verdict for today.
While rejecting the plea, District and Sessions Judge Manoj Kumar Vyas today did not make any comment over the facts of the case, but said that in the given facts and circumstances, the bail application of the accused cannot be accepted.
"We are happy that we could satisfy the court that grating bail at this stage can affect the trial of the case adversely," PC Solanki, advocate of the complainant, told IANS.
A 16-old-girl had lodged a police complaint accusing Asaram of sexually assaulting her at his ashram near Jodhpur. It was alleged in the complaint that Asaram's aides sent her to his Jodhpur ashram on the pretext that she was under the influence of an "evil spirit" and he could perform an exorcism.
