Chandigarh, July 18 (IANS) Dera Sacha Sauda chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh, who is undergoing a 20-year sentence for raping two of his two disciples, told his followers that his blood group changed from O positive to O negative.
However, the Dera chief, whose 30-day parole ended on Sunday, offered no evidence, medical or otherwise, to support his claim of change in his blood group.
Taking to Instagram, the self-styled godman invoked the second spiritual leader of Dera Sachcha Sauda, Shah Satnam Singh, and said that before he died, Rahim asked him not to leave him, to which he reportedly replied that he will always reside inside him. After this, his blood group changed to O negative.
As per media reports, he also claimed that the blood group on his driving license was recorded as O+ve.
Rahim was sentenced to 20 years in jail in August 2017 for raping two women.
In January 2019, a special CBI court in Panchkula also sentenced Rahim and three others to life imprisonment for the murder of journalist Ram Chander Chhatrapati over 16 years ago.
His conviction on August 25, 2017 had led to violence in Panchkula and Sirsa, leaving 41 people dead and over 260 injured.
Rahim was patronised by political leaders and parties in Punjab and Haryana for nearly two decades due to his ability to influence the votes of his followers.
Police sources said that the accident took place at Khandli in Rajouri, when a bus coming from Peeri to Rajouri collided with a tipper coming from the opposite direction.
Deputy Commissioner of Police, Usha Rangnani, said a PCR call was received at 6.15 a.m. on Wednesday at the Mahendra Park police station, in which the caller, Shiv Kumar, reported shattering of window panes of vehicles by some Muslim boys.
Addressing a gathering here to hand over appointment letters to 2,373 youths after launching a massive recruitment drive to fill 26,754 posts, he wished that such functions - to give appointment letters to the youths - should be held regularly.
As many as 60 members of search teams carried out the extensive search on Tuesday in some 40 km in which a shocking fact came to the fore that in order to distill the illicit liquor from 'lahan', the water used was the one which came from the sewage of industrial units of Ludhiana city.
The case will come up for final hearing on July 5 after the summer break. Additional Solicitor General Satya Pal Jain refuted the allegations of illegal detention and said not even a single officer was detained.
