Gujarat: After Asaram, son Narayan Sai too denied temporary bail

AHMEDABAD: Like Asumal Harpalani alias Asaram, his son Narayan Sai too has unsuccessfully sought a temporary bail from the Gujarat high court by citing Covid-19 as a ground for release.
Sai, who has been imprisoned for life in a rape case by a Surat court, had sought bail through jail authority on ground of outbreak of Covid-19 so he could go and assist his family. Most prisoners have been seeking bail to assist families in this pandemic, particularly after the Supreme Court suggested the government to release prisoners to reduce burden and risk of transmission of virus in prisons.
