On August 25 this year, a few cities saw public properties including buses and railway stations being burnt for a rape convict, Gurmeet Ram Rahim - the Dera Sacha Sauda chief. Gurmeet Ram Rahim was convicted by a special CBI court of Panchkula in a 15-year-old rape and sexual exploitation case. Ironically, Gurmeet Ram Rahim enjoyed Z-plus security before being convicted of rape. A PTI report said that Gurmeet Ram Rahim was "the most supported" nomination for this year's Padma Awards.
