Jodhpur Jail Superintendent claims that&nbsp;Self-styled godman Asaram Bapu seemed to have&nbsp;broken after Jodhpur Court on Wednesday convicted him of&nbsp;raping a 16-year-old girl.
"Do something", the 77-year-old kept on muttering to his advocates during the hearing of arguments on the quantum of sentence, according to Vikram Singh.
"Asaram seemed nervous on hearing the verdict," said a police officer present on the premises of the Jodhpur central jail where the judgment was pronounced.
"Asaram appeared broken. He said he will now move a higher court," Singh said. Inside his cell, Asaram was restless and kept on lumbering for some time, he said.
A Jodhpur court on Wednesday sentenced Asaram to life in prison after finding him guilty of raping a teenage girl in his ashram five years ago, the second case of a powerful spiritual leader being convicted of a sexual offense in less than a year. Apart from Asaram, two other accused were convicted by the special court. It acquitted two others.
