Dera Sacha Sauda chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh, who has been serving a 20-year jail sentence for raping two disciples, returned to district jail in Sunaria village on Friday after completing his 30-day parole.
He reached the prison at around 4:59 pm, marking the end of the parole period that began on May 26.
“During his parole, Gurmeet Ram Rahim stayed at the Dera Sacha Sauda headquarters in Sirsa, where he spent most of his time. He remained connected with his followers through online interactions and was also engaged in renovation work at the dera premises,” said the sources.
Notably, the Sirsa-headquartered Dera Sacha Sauda has a number of followers in various districts of Haryana, Punjab, Rajasthan and other states. He was awarded the jail term by a special CBI court in the rape case in August 2017.
