A special courtroom has been set up inside the Jodhpur Central Jail (JCJ) for pronouncement of the verdict, considering the security aspects due to the huge following Asaram enjoys across the country.
The Centre has directed Rajasthan, Gujarat, Haryana and UP to tighten security and deploy additional forces. The Shahjahanpur district administration has stepped up security around the rape survivor’s house. “We are prepared for the judgment. Arrangements have been made for the magistrate and his court staff. Asaram, his four co-accused and the defence and prosecution lawyers will remain present in the courtroom,” JCJ DIG Vikram Singh said.
