Self styled godman Asaram Bapu rape case victims to be examined

The Gujarat government on Monday told the Supreme Court that the victim in a rape case involving self-styled preacher Asaram Bapu will be questioned from January 29.

The top court adjourned the hearing on the bail plea of Asaram by nine weeks and said it will taken it up after the victim is examined by the trial court.

A bench of Justices NV Ramana and AM Sapre which was initially inclined to dismiss the bail petition said the petitioner can easily approach after the victim is examined.

The court had on January 15 sought to know the status of trial in a rape case involving Asaram and asked the Gujarat government to file a progress report on it.

Asaram's counsel had then told the court that in the Gujarat case, out of 92 witnesses, 22 material witnesses have been examined, 14 of them are dropped and rest need to be examined.
