SC directs AIIMS to constitute medical board to assess health of self-styled godman Asaram convicted in minor rape case

The Supreme Court has directed AIIMS to form a medical board for Asaram. This board will assess his current health condition for an interim bail request. Asaram's conviction and life sentence were upheld by the Rajasthan High Court recently. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta questioned Asaram's medical claims, citing recent travels. The court awaits the medical report before deciding on bail.
