Bhopal: Self-styled godman Asaram Bapu, who was summoned by Jodhpur Police to appear before it in a sexual assault case on Friday, did not surrender, with his son claiming that he was taken ill even as the Rajasthan Police decided to send a team to Madhya Pradesh to interrogate him.
Meanwhile, the controversial godman applied for anticipatory bail in Gujarat High Court.
Asarams son Narayan Sai claimed that his father had booked his tickets for a flight to New Delhi this morning but his health suddenly deteriorated because of which the air tickets had to be cancelled.On when Asaram plans to go to Jodhpur, he told that it will all depend on the medical condition of his father. “We will tell you when Bapu becomes fit enough to travel to Jodhpur (Rajasthan),” he said.
In Jodhpur, DCP Ajay Lamba had said earlier in the day, “Asaram has no justifiable reason to skip the deadline. If he fails to come today, a team led by the investigation officer will leave for the place where Bapu is present for interrogating him.”
72-year-old Asaram had on Thursday said that he would not seek more time to present himself before the Jodhpur police, which is probing into the allegations levelled by the minor girl and had summoned to appear before the Jodhpur police on or before August 30.
