India Blooms News Service | | 25 Sep 2017, 05:35 pm
New Delhi, Sept 25 (IBNS): Jailed Dera Sacha Sauda supremo Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh has moved to the Punjab and Haryana high court in connection to the verdict given against him by a CBI court in two rape cases last month.


The self-styled religious leader is currently lodged in Rohtak District Jail.

A Haryana court last month sentenced the self-styled religious leader to 20 years in prison for raping two of his women followers.

He was convicted of rape charges on Aug 25.

Following the conviction, his followers attacked journalists, policemen and destroyed public property and vehicles in Pachkula city on Haryana.

Violence was also reported from other parts of Haryana and other parts of north India.
