The Tribune's report on the Gujarat High Court, a division bench of Justices Ilesh Vora and Vimal Vyas, rejecting Asaram Bapu's plea to suspend his sentence and grant bail in the Gandhinagar rape case on 31 August 2024, holding that no exceptional grounds warranted relief and that arguments about appeal delay, his age and his medical condition did not change that conclusion. The bench's reasoning also weighed allegations concerning deaths and attacks on witnesses connected to Asaram's ashram. His appeal against the underlying conviction remains pending before the Gujarat High Court.
