After various media interviews, it has emerged that Honeypreet, the controversial adopted daughter of jailed Dera Sacha Sauda sect chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh, is likely to surrender in Panchkula court today.
Honeypreet, who calls herself ‘Papa’s angel’, has finally surfaced and sought anticipatory transit bail from the Delhi High Court. The High Court had, rejected the bail plea of Honeypreet, whose real name is Priyanka Taneja.
Honeypreet and two other aides of Ram Rahim were booked by the Haryana Police on charges of sedition, inciting violence and being involved in the conspiracy to help the Dera chief escape after his conviction by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) court on August 25 on two counts of raping female disciples in 1999.
The Haryana Police had sounded an international alert against all three.
Honeypreet, in her mid-30s, has been the closest aide of Ram Rahim since 2009. Police have been on her trail for nearly a month and raids have been conducted in Nepal, Rajasthan, Bihar and Haryana.
Last month, Honeypreet’s former husband Vishwas Gupta accused her and Ram Rahim of having illicit relations and said their father-daughter relationship was a sham to fool followers.
Ram Rahim has been sentenced to 20 years of imprisonment and a fine of over Rs 30 lakh.
His rape conviction led to violence in Panchkula and Sirsa in Haryana, leaving 38 people dead and 264 injured. Isolated incidents of violence were also reported from Delhi and several other places in Punjab.
