After Gurmeet Ram Rahim, another self-styled Godman faces verdict today
Rampal, 67, was arrested in November, 2014 from his Satlok Ashram in Hisar as security forces had to fight almost for seven days with his armed followers in connection with case involving his followers, who opened fire at villagers in Rohtak, killing one person and injuring several others.
He was arrested on a warrant issued for repeatedly ignoring court summons- 43 times.
As six people-five women and a baby-allegedly used as human shield- were killed in the bloody resistance Rampal's followers put up, new cases, including for murder, attempted murder, sedition, rioting and illegal detention, were slapped on the self-proclaimed Godman.
Before turning a spiritual guru, Rampal, now 66, was an engineer with Haryana’s irrigation department.
