Self-styled godman Asaram Bapu was on Tuesday remanded in police custody till October 19 by a local court in a sexual assault case filed by two Surat-based sisters against him and his son Narayan Sai.
Magistrate V.A. Budh granted the police Asaram’s remand till October 19 against their plea for 14-day custody after he was produced in the court on Tuesday morning.
Meanwhile, anticipatory bail plea hearing of Sai was adjourned on Tuesday after prosecution sought time to file a detailed reply on it.
