Jodhpur : Asaram, who was convicted for raping a minor girl, has sent a mercy plea to the governor of Rajasthan seeking dilution of his life sentence. On April 25, a Jodhpur court had sentenced Asaram to life in prison.
Challenging the sentence, Asaram had moved high court on July 2 but the petition is yet to be listed for hearing. Governor Kalyan Singh, who recently received Asaram's mercy plea, sent it to the home department seeking a detailed report on the plea. Jodhpur jail superintendent said that we have received Asaram's mercy plea. We have sought a report from the district administration and police on this mercy plea. After receipt of this report, the jail administration will send it to the Director General (Jail) of Rajasthan.
