Rohtak, Jan. 29 -- Dera Sacha Sauda chief and rape convict Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh on Tuesday walked out of Rohtak's Sunaria jail after he was granted a 30-day parole. This is his 12th temporary release from jail since 2017, and eighth ahead of polls in Haryana, Punjab, Rajasthan and Delhi, where he has a significant following.
His release comes before the Delhi polls on February 5, keeping with the trend of the influential sect leader being released ahead of elections in the region. According to officials, Ram Rahim was released at 5.30am on Tuesday and headed for the Sirsa-based headquarters of his sect, which he is visiting for the first time since his conviction in 2017. P13
