According to news agency ANI that the medical board of AIIMS has been asked to submit the medical report of Asaram bapu within 10 days to the Supreme Court.

Earlier on Tuesday, the high court of Rajasthan had also rejected the bail plea of self-styled god-man Asaram Bapu. Asaram is facing the rape charges.

An interim bail plea was denied by the high court last month. This was the ninth regular bail plea of Asaram that was rejected by the court.

Justice Nirmal Jeet Kaur said that since the trial of the case has reached its fag end, it was not suitable to give the bail to Asaram. Prosecution counsel P C Solanki said the court also rejected the argument of defence that the trial of the case was taking long.
