Sai's lawyer I H Syed preferred to withdraw the plea after the division bench of Justice A S Supehia and Justice Vimal Vyas was told that Asaram was discharged from a hospital and was back in a jail in Jodhpur.
The Court opined that nothing in the trailer was related to Asaram Bapu, and that granting a stay would result in huge financial damage to the film's producers.
Asaram Bapu Rape Case Sentencing: A court in Gujarat had convicted Asaram Bapu under Indian Penal Code Sections 376 2 (C) (rape), 377 (unnatural offences), 342 (wrongful detention), 354 (assault or criminal force to woman with intent to outrage her modesty), 357 (assault) and 506 (criminal intimidation), in the case lodged by his former woman disciple in 2013.
Chaurasia and several other journalists are accused of airing ‘morphed' and 'obscene’ videos of a 10-year-old girl and linking it to the sexual assault case against godman Asaram Bapu.
SP Mishra said that five teams have been formed to nab the killers and unearth the conspiracy. He said that the girl was missing since last week and her parents had accused three people in the FIR.
