“He had been admitted in an Ayurveda hospital of the city for the past few days on parole and left for his ashram late on Tuesday,” a police officer said.
Rajasthan High Court on Tuesday (January 14, 2025 granted interim bail till March 31 to the self-styled godman, who is serving life imprisonment. A lower court had sentenced Asaram to life imprisonment in April 2018 for raping a minor at his ashram in 2013.
A large crowd of supporters gathered outside the hospital after hearing the news of his interim bail and garlanded Asaram when he came out.
He was also accorded a resounding welcome upon his arrival at the ashram.
His counsel Nishant Bora said Asaram would be free to take treatment at a place of his choice during this bail period.
He would, however, have to adhere to the bail conditions.
Last week, the Supreme Court granted Asaram a similar relief till March 31 in a another rape case, observing that he was suffering from various ailments and needed treatment.
