Dera Sacha Sauda chief and convicted rapist Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh has been granted a 50-day parole.
This parole is granted two months after the Sirsa-headquartered sect chief walked out of Sunaria jail in Haryana’s Rohtak district on November 21, 2023, following a 21-day furlough—his third temporary release from jail in the same year.
During this temporary release period, Singh will visit the Dera Sacha Sauda Ashram in Barnawa, located in Uttar Pradesh’s Baghpat. Singh is currently serving a 20-year jail term for the rape of two of his disciples.
The Dera chief had previously been granted a 30-day parole on July 30, 2023, and a 40-day parole in January of the same year. In October 2022, he was also granted a 40-day parole. Before that, he had been released on a month-long parole in June 2022, along with a three-week furlough on February 7, 2022.
In 2021, Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh, along with four others, was convicted for conspiring to murder Dera manager Ranjit Singh. Additionally, the Dera chief and three others were convicted in 2019 for the murder of a journalist more than 16 years ago.
