Supreme Court rejects Asaram Bapu's bail plea
The apex court also dismissed Asaram's regular bail plea in connection with the sexual assault case lodged in Rajasthan.
The court said the trial is being unnecessarily prolonged after attacks on prosecution witnesses.
Earlier, the Supreme Court and the Rajasthan High Court had turned down several times Asaram's interim bail plea on medical ground.
The self-proclaimed godman was arrested by Jodhpur police in August, 2013 on the basis of a complaint by a teenage girl, who had accused Asaram of sexually assaulting her at his ashram.
