The Rajasthan High Court has granted six months' bail to 84-year-old Asaram Bapu on medical grounds. The self-styled godman, who has been serving a life sentence since 2018 for raping a minor, had previously received interim bail three times. His counsel argued that proper treatment for his prolonged illness was not possible in jail, while the prosecution opposed the plea.
