Supreme Court today denied bail sought on medical grounds to self-styled godman Asaram. While refusing to modify its earlier order that had declined him interim bail, the apex court said the instant plea is devoid of merit. The Court also dismissed his regular bail plea in sexual assault case lodged in Rajasthan. Asaram was arrested by Jodhpur Police on August 31, 2013 and has been in jail since then. A teenage girl had accused him of sexual assault at his ashram in Manai village near Jodhpur.
