Jodhpur: The cold wave has sent shivers down the spines of self-styled godman Asaram Bapu, lodged inside Jodhpur central jail since the first week of September.
On Monday, the godman in his application before the Jodhpur judge said, he is shivering with cold inside the court barracks too, where he is dumped with other prisoners on the dates of hearing.  Asaram has requested some arrangements to keep the prisoners warm inside the court barracks

"I am brought like a common prisoner with others in the jail bus and dumped inside the court barracks at 11 am, whereas the hearing takes place at 2 pm.  The barracks in which I am kept are open. I will be crippled in this bitter cold.  There is a toilet inside the barrack, and its stink may affect my health.
"I fear my rivals may take advantage of my helplessness seeing how the jail administration is sending me in the jail bus packed with other prisoners. They can kill me.

"I request that I may be provided a separate guard and security so that others may not be able to harm me physically", wrote Asaram Bapu. 

Devotees of Asaram flocked to the court premises to have a 'darshan' of the godman charged with sexually assaulting a minor girl on the night of August 15 inside his cottage in Jodhpur.

Some of the devotees openly wept, while others kissed the ground on which the godman walked.

On the other hand, the prosecutor has charged the defence lawyer of deliberately trying to drag the process of law.

Rajulal Meena, the special public prosecutor, in his petition before the sessions judge Manoj Kumar Vyas pointed out that after the court took cognisance of the crime, Asaram and other accused were produced before the court 16 times, but the arguments on charges are yet to begin, because  the defence lawyer has been bringing in extraneous issues. 

The judge then allowed exemption from producing Asaram, and other accused warden Shilpi, director Sharad chandra, sevadar Shiva and cook Prakash before the court. He ordered all of them be produced before the court on Jan 9 only.
