Chandigarh: The Sunaria jail administration is in a dilemma after the devotees claimed that Dera Sirsa chief Ram Rahim, who is serving a 20-year sentence in the Sadhvi rape case, was a ‘dummy of Ram Rahim’. Devotees claim that Ram Rahim, who came out on parole, is a ‘dummy’ and the real Ram Rahim has been kidnapped long ago or killed or his life is in danger.

Punjab and Haryana High hearing a petition in this regard today to “verify the authenticity” of Dera chief Ram Rahim, the HC asked the counsel for the Dera followers not to do filmi talk and admonished them that the courts are not meant for such petitions.

The devotees have filed a petition in the Punjab and Haryana High Court over these claims and described Ram Rahim as ‘duplicate’.

Dera chief Ram Rahim is currently delivering a discourse at his own camp in UP’s Baghpat after his parole from jail. It was in this camp that devotees suspected Ram Rahim after which he was claimed to be ‘dummy’.

Ambala resident Ashok and other devotees suspected Ram Rahim to be a ‘dummy’ and moved the high court. In an application filed in the court the devotees said the difference was clearly visible when they saw Ram Rahim.

They claimed the stature of the Dera chief also looks big and there is also a difference in the fingers of the hands and feet. The devotees claimed that the Dera chief did not come out on parole at all and the one who delivered the discourse in Baghpat is his ‘duplicate’.

Chandigarh: Controversial Dera head Ram Rahim who is lodged inside Sunaria jail in Haryana’s Rohtak on heinous crimes like rape and murder has now been released on a month’s parole by the Haryana government.

This is for the first time that Ram Rahim has been released on parole. In the meantime, he will remain at his camp in Baghpat in Uttar Pradesh.

Parole sanction was kept secret and today at 7 a.m., he was taken out of Sunaria jail and sent to the camp in Baghpat under heavy security.

He has been provided Z category security during parole.

Ram Rahim had earlier come out of jail in February 2022 on a 21-day furlough ahead of polls and he stayed at his farm house in Gurugram. He was earlier taken on a day’s parole to meet his mother who was admitted to a hospital in Gurgaon.

There were allegations by the opposition parties against the BJP for allowing him furlough to gain mileage in the elections regarding his release before the Punjab elections but the BJP maintained that furlough and parole were the legal right of any prisoner and everything has happened as per the law.

Ram Rahim is serving a life sentence on charges of murder of his manager in 2002 and rape of his two disciples in 2017. He has been lodged in Haryana’s Sunaria jail since 2017.

In 2019, Ram Rahim had sought 42-day parole to visit the fields near his sirsa-based camp, but his application in this regard was strongly opposed by the opposition parties and the government had pulled back from it and the parole was denied.
