Dera Sacha Sauda chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh has been granted parole for the 15th time since 2020, totaling 365 days out of his sentence for rape convictions. While his parole is legally permissible, critics, including victims' families, allege political favoritism by the Haryana government. The government has previously stated that other convicts with multiple life sentences have also received parole, indicating this is not an isolated case.
