Gurmeet Ram Rahim Gets 21-Day Furlough
The convicted Dera Sacha Sauda leader will remain at his Sirsa headquarters during his 17th temporary release from jail since 2017.
Controversial Dera Sacha Sauda chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh has been granted a 21-day furlough on Tuesday, marking his 17th temporary release from jail since his 2017 conviction.
The Dera chief is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for the rape of two women disciples, establishing the legal context for his periodic furlough releases.
Ram Rahim will stay at his Sirsa-headquartered Dera during the furlough period, departing from the Sunaria jail in Rohtak, Haryana where he is currently lodged.
Authorities previously granted Ram Rahim a 30-day parole in May and a 40-day parole in January, establishing a pattern of regular temporary releases this year.
This marks the 17th time Ram Rahim has left prison since his August 2017 conviction, demonstrating the ongoing frequency of furlough grants to the incarcerated Dera chief.
Dera Sacha Sauda chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh has once again been granted parole for 21 days. He walked out of Rohtak's Sunaria jail at 6:05 a.m. on Tuesday and left for his Sirsa ashram with a convoy.
