The Delhi High Court has refused bail to a self-proclaimed faith healer accused of sexually assaulting a 17-year-old girl. The incident, which dates back to 2019, involved the accused exploiting the girl's illness and her family's belief in his spiritual abilities. Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma dismissed the bail application, citing the serious nature of the allegations and the advanced stage of the trial. The court noted that the accused allegedly took advantage of the survivor's vulnerable state, claiming he could cure her through spiritual treatment, which led to the assault. The case is filed under Section 376 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 4 of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act. The court has urged the trial court to expedite the proceedings, as the accused has been in custody for over six years.
