Jodhpur: The Jodhpur court today rejected Asaram Bapu's plea for a female ayurvedic doctor to carry out treatment for his disease, called in ayurvedic parlance, as "trinaadi shool" .
The court directed the jail administration to set up a medical board to check the status of the godman's health.
Asaram Bapu had in a letter to the jail authorities sought the female ayuvedic doctor (vaidya) named Neeta ji to treat his "Trinaadi shool" problem, from which, he says, he had been suffering for the last 13 years.
In his letter, Asaram Bapu wrote that the vaidya Neeta ji had been treating him for the last 2-3 years regularly, in which as part of a "panchkarma" he is given oily message from the head downwards.
The self-styled godman in his letter had sought the services of the female vaidya foe the next eight days daily for two-three hours. The letter was signed by the godman himself as "Sant Shri Asaram Bapu".
Hours before his arrest in Indore ashram, Asaram Bapu's son Narayan Sai had said that his father was suffering from trigeminal neuralgia, a complication from which Bollywood star Salman Khan is also suffering.
