The bail petition of self-styled godman Asaram Bapu, accused of sexually assaulting a 16-year-old girl at his ashram in Jodhpur, will come up for hearing on Tuesday morning. 

Asaram was behind bars on Monday after he was remanded in 14-day judicial custody by a local court.

Wearing a white dhoti and kurta and a red cap, the controversial 72-year-old Asaram was produced amid tight security yesterday before the district and sessions court where the magistrate Manoj Kumar ordered to send him to judicial custody till September 15. 

The counsel for Asaram moved an application for bail yesterday. Asaram was brought to the court in a police bus escorted by a police vehicle. He was remanded in one-day police custody on Sunday after being grilled for four hours.
