Supreme Court considers Asaram Bapu's petition for temporary release due to medical reasons.

The Supreme Court has asked the Gujarat government to respond to a petition by Asaram Bapu, a convicted self-proclaimed spiritual leader, who is seeking to suspend his life sentence for a 2013 rape conviction. The court will only consider the petition if there are medical reasons for a temporary release. Asaram is currently in jail and his previous appeals to suspend the sentence have been rejected by lower courts.
