District and sessions judge (rural) on Monday extended his judicial custody till 11 October. Asaram filed a bail application before the Jodhpur bench of the High Court on 13 September after his earlier plea was rejected by a lower court. ‘Justice Nirmaljit Kaur rejected his bail application today (Tuesday) after hearing arguments from the defence and prosecution lawyers,’ said prosecution counsel Anand Purohit.
