Dera Sacha Sauda chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh, serving a 20-year jail term for raping two of his disciples, walked out of the Sunaria jail in Rohtak on Monday (January 5, 2026) after he was granted a 40-day parole — the 15th time since his conviction in 2017.
Gurmeet Singh will stay at his Sirsa-headquartered Dera during the 40-day period, said Dera spokesperson and advocate Jitender Khurana.
Gurmeet Singh and three others were also convicted in 2019 for the murder of a journalist more than 16 years ago.
