MP: Ambala (Haryana), Oct.25 (ANI): The embattled head of the
Sirsa-based Dera Sacha Sauda sect, Baba Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh, was
today granted regular bail by a CBI court in connection with two cases
of murder and one of sexual harassment.
Special CBI Judge R K Saini, who had on Monday reserved his order
after the defence concluded arguments, allowed the regular bail plea
as his "prima facie involvement" in the three cases had not been
established, Singh's lawyer Jasmir Singh told reporters in Ambala.
Dera chief spokesman Aditya Insaan claimed the charges against Singh
were "baseless" and that "truth will prevail".
Singh is facing charges for the murder of Dera manager Ranjit Singh
and a Sirsa journalist Ram Chander Chatterpati as also a case of
alleged sexual harrasment of a woman disciple.
The CBI had filed three chargesheets against the Dera head on July 31
and on October 20 had opposed the granting of interim bail to Singh.
The regular bail application was moved by Singh on October 4 and the
court had then extended the interim bail granted to him till October
15. (ANI)
