Supreme Court allows Asaram Bapu full-time caregiver in jail

There is a man named Asaram Bapu who is in jail.

A court found him guilty of hurting a young girl a long time ago.

Because of that, he has to stay in jail for the rest of his life.

Now he is not feeling well.

Doctors examined him and said he does not need to stay in a hospital.

But they said he needs someone to take care of him all day and all night.

The Supreme Court judges read the doctors' report.

They decided to allow a trained helper of Asaram's choice to stay with him in jail.

The helper will be with him all the time to look after him.

The government's lawyer agreed to follow the doctors' advice.
