Chandigarh: Dera Sacha Sauda chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim and five others were found guilty of murder in the Ranjit Singh murder case by a special CBI court in Panchkula on Friday, October 8.
The quantum of punishment is expected to be pronounced on October 12.
On July 10, 2002, Ranjit Singh, who was a member of Dera’s 10-member committee, was gunned down by four assailants. According to the charge sheet, Ram Rahim had hatched a conspiracy to kill Ranjit Singh because he suspected Ranjit Singh of circulating a letter alleging sexual exploitation of female members of the Dera.
On Tuesday (October 5) the Punjab and Haryana High Court had dismissed a petition filed by Ranjit Singh’s son Jagseer Singh seeking transfer of the trial from Special CBI court to any other CBI court in Punjab, Haryana, or Union Territory of Chandigarh.
Ram Rahim has already been sentenced in multiple cases. He is serving life imprisonment for the killing of journalist Ram Chander Chhatrapati. He was also awarded a 20-years jail term for raping two of his female disciples.
Ram Rahim is also facing trials in a case relating to the alleged castration of his followers.
