Dera Sacha Sauda chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh once again seeks parole

Dera Sacha Sauda chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh has once again sought parole to come out of Rohtak’s Sunaria prison where he is undergoing a sentence for the rape of his two disciples and the murder of Dera’s former manager. He has moved a parole application to the state government seeking parole from January 25.

According to the information, in his application, the Dera chief mentioned that January 25 marks the birth anniversary of Dera Sacha Sauda’s second chief Shah Satnam. He added that the Dera organises a religious congregation on that day in which free food is served to thousands of devotees and he wants to participate in it.

The jail administration, Sirsa district administration and the state government will contemplate his release from jail for going to the Dera headquarters in Sirsa would pose any threat to the law and order situation. The final decision is expected to be taken in a couple of days.

Ever since he was jailed in August 2017, the Dera chief had come out of Rohtak’s Sunaria prison on multiple occasions either on parole or furlough or for his health examinations.
