Dera chief Ram Rahim sent back to Sunaria jail after 40-day parole ends

Rohtak (The Uttam Hindu): Gurmeet Singh, who is serving time for the sexual exploitation of a sadhvi and the murder of journalist Ramchandra Chhatrapati, has completed his 40-day parole period. Following the completion of the stipulated time, he arrived at Sunaria Jail on Sunday evening under tight security.

In 2017, a special CBI court in Panchkula convicted Dera Sacha Sauda chief Gurmeet Singh in the rape cases of two sadhvis and sentenced him to 20 years in prison. He was also sentenced to life imprisonment in the journalist Ramchandra Chhatrapati murder case.

He has been lodged in Rohtak's Sunaria jail since then. During his parole, he stayed at a camp in Sirsa under the prescribed conditions. Upon completion of his parole period, he was required to surrender to the jail, and he arrived at the appointed time.

According to the jail administration, after his parole expired, he was duly admitted and sent to his barracks following security protocols. Gurmeet Singh has previously been granted furlough and parole for varying periods. This has been a topic of discussion in political and social circles from time to time. He is currently serving his sentence in Sunaria Jail.
