Gurmeet Ram Rahim's Security

Gurmeet Ram Rahim’s Security Increased

A heavy police force has been deployed by the Uttar Pradesh Police outside the Baghpat Ashram under the Binauli police station area of Gurmeet Ram Rahim to avoid any untoward incident.

The security of Dera Sacha Sauda’s Barnawa Ashram located in the Baghpat district of the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh has been increased keeping in view the stay of the Dera chief, Ram Rahim in the Ashram.
Gurmeet Ram Rahim, head of Barnawa Dera Sacha Sauda Ashram, is serving a sentence for rape and murder in Rohtak’s Sunaria Jail. He has been granted parole for 40 days and during this period, he will be staying at Barnawa’s ashram.

Keeping in view the stay at the Ashram, the Uttar Pradesh Police has increased the security of Dera chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim.

Speaking about the heavy police force deployment outside the ashram, a servant at the camp informed that “searches are also being conducted on suspicious persons”. Apart from this, “the crowd is also not allowed to gather around the ashram”. The priority of the police is to prevent any untoward incident.

Informing about the course of the event at the Dera Sacha Barnawa ashram, a female attendant said that continuous checking of the serviceman is being done. The IDs of regular visitors, as well as sevadars, are being checked. Sevadars are being changed shift wise and a shift not lasting more than 3 hours is being followed. Detectors have been deployed as well for a full-body scan and mobile phones are not being allowed inside the Ashram.

A Sevadar Lakhveer Singh, posted at the main gate of the Aashram speaking about the security processes informed that Sevadars are required for facilities inside the Ashram. The sevadars working for the Ashram are being searched for their IDs, and are being allowed inside only after ascertaining their know-how, and the blocks they are coming from.

Adequate arrangements have been made by the administration to avoid any untoward incident.

Dera Sacha chief Ram Rahim was recently released from the Sunaria jail on 40-day parole. He reached Baghpat under security cover.

The Dera chief’s family had submitted an application to the jail authorities seeking month-long parole for him. Rahim was granted parole for a month on June 17.

He has been incarcerated, since 2017, in Haryana’s Sunaria jail where he is serving a 20-year-term for raping two women disciples at his ashram’s headquarters in Sirsa. Earlier in February, the Dera chief was granted three weeks’ leave.

While parole means the release of a prisoner either temporarily for a special purpose or completely before the expiry of a sentence, on the promise of good behaviour, a furlough is a short-term temporary release of convicts from jail. He was convicted by a special CBI court in Panchkula in August 2017 for raping two women followers.

CBI had registered the case on the orders passed by the High Court of Punjab and Haryana in the year 2003 and taken over the investigation of the case earlier registered at Police Station Sadar in Kurukshetra.

It was alleged that Ranjit Singh resident of Village Khanpur Kolian, Kurukshetra was murdered on July 10, 2002, when he was working in his fields at village Khanpur Kolian of District Kurukshetra in Haryana.

After a thorough investigation, CBI filed a charge sheet in the year 2007 against six accused, and charges were framed in the year 2008.

While, on October 8, 2021, the court convicted Rahim and four others in connection with former Dera manager Ranjit Singh’s murder case. Ranjit Singh was murdered in 2002 on the premises of Dera Sacha Sauda. (ANI)

SGPC Asks For Ban On Ram Rahim’s Activities

Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) President Harjinder Singh Dhami has termed the activities of convicted Dera Sacha Sauda head Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh as “anti-social” and demanded the Centre and state government stop them immediately.

Dhami’s demands came as a reaction to the recently made announcement of the “opening of a Dera” in Punjab’s Sunam. Dhami said, “Ram Rahim’s character is anti-social and the charges leveled against him are heinous.”

Ram Rahim, the main accused in sacrilege cases, has been serving a jail term after being convicted in rape and murder cases and was released from Sunaria jail on 40-day parole on Saturday.

The SGPC president has called Ram Rahim a “controversial person” and alleged that the announcement to open Dera in Punjab has hurt the sentiments of Sikhs.

“The announcement by this controversial person to open a Dera in Punjab has hurt the Sikh sentiments and this may spoil the peaceful atmosphere of Punjab, SGPC president Dhami said adding that the Punjab government should play its role responsibly in this “very serious” matter and resolve that no branch of Dera Sirsa is established in Punjab.”

He further said that the Sikh mentality is being hurt by repeatedly granting parole to Ram Rahim, who was imprisoned due to his bad character and crimes and it is a “conspiracy” to announce the opening of his Dera in Sunam.

“The Sikh community will never tolerate this act of his. The government should not allow the convict of heinous acts to play with the religious sentiments of the people,” he added.

While underscoring that any activity of Ram Rahim will not be accepted in Punjab, Dhami demanded the Centre and the state government stop Ram Rahim’s online speeches while he is out on parole and facing serious charges.

Ram Rahim on Wednesday organized a virtual ‘Satsang’ which was attended by many political leaders including the Karnal Mayor and many Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders, sparking a fresh controversy.

The Dera chief’s family had submitted an application to the jail authorities seeking month-long parole for him.

However, the opposition had demanded a justification from the Bharatiya Janata Party over its leaders’ participation in the Satsang and Karnal mayor Renu Bala Gupta, deputy mayor Naveen Kumar and senior deputy mayor Rajesh Aggi continuously tried to defend their participation in the event.

The senior Deputy Mayor said, “I was invited to the Satsang by the ‘Sadh Sangat. Online Satsang was done from UP. Many people in my ward are associated with Baba. We attended the program with a social connection and it has nothing to do with the Bharatiya Janata Party and the upcoming by-poll.”

Notably, the opposition also alleged that Ram Rahim was granted parole due to the forthcoming by-polls in Adhampur that are slated to be held on November 3. Besides, the state is also scheduled to hold panchayat polls soon.

Ram Rahim was convicted by a special CBI court in Panchkula in August 2017 for raping two women followers.

While, on October 8, 2021, the court convicted Ram Rahim and four others in connection with former Dera manager Ranjit Singh’s murder case.

Ranjit Singh was murdered in 2002 on the premises of Dera Sacha Sauda.

CBI had registered the case on the orders passed by the High Court of Punjab and Haryana in the year 2003 and taken over the investigation of the case earlier registered at Police Station Sadar in Kurukshetra.

It was alleged that Ranjit Singh was murdered on July 10, 2002, while he was working in his fields at village Khanpur Kolian of Kurukshetra district in Haryana. (ANI)
