Dera Sacha Sauda chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh, serving a sentence for raping two girls, shall be out of jail as soon as once more. This time for 21 days.
Earlier, in January, the Dera Chief Ram Rahim was granted 40 days of parole. In October final yr, too, he was granted a 40-day parole. However, this time he’s going to be out on a furlough.
While parole means the discharge of a prisoner both quickly for a particular function or utterly earlier than the expiry of a sentence, on the promise of excellent behaviour, a furlough is a short-term momentary launch of convicts from jail.
During this break, the controversial chief, who’s lodged at Haryana’s Sunaria jail, shall be staying at an ashram in Uttar Pradesh’s Baghpat.
Following an argument over the 40-day parole being given to Ram Rahim in January, Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar had stated that getting parole after following all procedures was the Dera Sacha Sauda chief’s proper.
It was throughout the identical parole interval that Ram Rahim was seen “celebrating” by slicing a cake with a sword.
While out on parole on earlier events, the Sirsa-headquartered sect’s chief had held a number of on-line “satsang” periods.
