The Supreme Court on Tuesday criticised the government for unnecessarily providing heavy security to spiritual guru Asaram Bapu, accused of sexually assaulting a minor girl.
"We are seeing on TV hordes of security around one accused," the bench of Justice GS Singhvi and V Gopala Gowda observed. "Everybody says these are aberrations but they have become the rule," said Justice Singhvi.
The court's observation came in the course of the hearing of a PIL seeking withdrawal of security cover to undeserving people who use it a status symbol. Asaram was on Monday sent to 14 days' judicial custody in Rajasthan.
