Asaram Bapu applies for transit anticipatory bail in the Gujarat High Court. If bail is granted he cannot be arrested till he appears before the Jodhpur police. The deadline for appearing before the police expires today.

Asaram Bapu, who was summoned by Jodhpur Police to appear before it in a sexual assault case, did not surrender on Friday, 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.

Asaram's son Narayan Sai claimed that his father had booked his tickets for a flight to New Delhi on Friday morning but his health suddenly deteriorated because of which the air tickets had to be cancelled.
