On 21 March this year, Rajasthan High Court had allowed Asaram to get treatment for 10 days in a private Ayurvedic hospital in Jodhpur under police protection. While Asaram had filed an application for treatment in Khapoli, Maharashtra, but Maharashtra Police did not give permission for treatment due to security reasons.
Asaram has been sentenced to life imprisonment after being convicted of rape of a minor.
