Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh Returns to Sunaria Jail After 21-Day Furlough
Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh, serving a 20-year sentence for raping two disciples, returned to Sunaria jail after completing a 21-day furlough at his Dera Sacha Sauda headquarters in Sirsa. This was his 17th temporary release in nine years. Earlier this year, he was granted 40-day and 30-day paroles. The Punjab and Haryana High Court recently acquitted him in two 2002 murder cases, though appeals remain pending. His furlough period included controversy over advertisements supporting him.
