Royal Treatment For Ram Rahim Singh In Rohtak Prison?:- The Chief of the Dera Sacha Sauda and a self-styled godman, Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh has been moved to a prison in Haryana’s Rohtak, after he was found guilty of raping two women followers in 2002.

Singh will be lodged in a special cell and an assistant will be with him throughout. The photographs of him being given special treatment were doing rounds in the media.

Singh was taken to a police guest house, that served as a makeshift prison, after his landing in Rohtak. He was moved to a prison, later in the evening. All these visuals were sufficient for one to believe that Ram Rahim is not just any other prisoner. Despite being convicted for the rape case, Singh was getting a VIP treatment.

Meanwhile, the Director General of Police (DG) Prisons, in a clarification refuted the allegations and said that Singh is being treated as a normal prisoner, reports a leading news channel.

“The Dera chief has been locked up in a District Jail, Sonaria at Rohtak and is being treated like a normal prisoner according to the Haryana jail manual,” Singh further said. K P Singh clarifying on reports of proving Ram Rahim Singh with ‘luxurious’ items, said no RO system or attendants have been provided to him, as it was said in the media reports.

Adding, “There is no air conditioner in the cell where he is locked and is also kept under the surveillance of two prisoners as per the jail manual.”

After a special CBI court convicted Singh in connection with his alleged involvement in a 2002 rape case, at least 31 people were killed and more than 250 were injured inviolence in Panchkula and Sirsa.

His supporters who had gathered outside the Panchkula court premises went on a rampage, damaging vehicles (cars and buses), pulling down security barriers, attacking media persons, OB vans and public property, even though the court announced that the quantum of sentence against the self-proclaimed god man will be declared on August 28.
