Dera Sacha Sauda chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh was on Friday evening brought to Rohtak in an army helicopter after a special CBI court convicted him for raping his follower. The dera chief was kept in the rest house of the Police Training College (PTC) in Sunariya. However, sources on Friday night told HT that Ram Rahim will be shifted to Rohtak’s Sunariya jail barrack. While initial reports said the dera chief will be taken to Ambala jail, sources said the decision to bring him to Rohtak was taken as he has comparatively less number of followers in the district. Meanwhile, the railways too suspended all operations to and from Rohtak railway station.
