State of Gujarat vs Asaram Bapu

A Gandhinagar court convicted Asaram Bapu on 30 January 2023 for the rape and sodomy of a former devotee, while six co-accused were acquitted. Following the Gujarat High Court's rejection of his temporary bail plea on 21 September 2026, the Supreme Court permitted Asaram to withdraw his plea for interim bail on 14 October 2026, noting his existing parole in a separate Jodhpur matter.
