Sirsa-based Dera Sacha Sauda chief and rape and murder convict Gurmeet Ram Rahim returned to Sunaria jail in Rohtak district today after the completion of his 21-day furlough.

The dera head returned to Sunaria jail under tight security this evening.

He is undergoing 20-year imprisonment in connection with the rape of two of his disciples. Later, he was also convicted for the murder of journalist Ram Chander Chhatrapati. He stayed at Barnawa ashram in Baghpat district of Uttar Pradesh during his 21-day furlough.

It was for the 10th time that the dera chief was released from the jail on furlough/parole ever since he was awarded the jail term by a special CBI court in August 2017.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
