Dera Sacha Sauda chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim is once again set to walk out of prison as he has been granted a 21-day parole. Currently incarcerated at the Sunaria district jail, this marks the 17th time that the Dera chief has secured temporary freedom from custody. Prior to this development, he has already stepped out of prison on 16 different occasions under various parole and furlough provisions.
Destination Set for Sirsa Ashram
During earlier instances of temporary release, authorities often sent him to the Barnawa ashram located in Baghpat. However, changing patterns show that for the third consecutive time, he is heading toward the Sirsa ashram. He will once again make his way to the Sirsa facility under strict administrative oversight and security arrangements following his release from jail today.
Understanding the Court Sentencing
Gurmeet Ram Rahim is serving prison time following his conviction in a sadhvi sexual exploitation case, where a special court handed down two separate ten-year prison terms. Crucially, these two sentences do not run concurrently. According to the CBI court directives, the second ten-year prison term begins only after the completion of the first ten-year sentence, extending his overall legal confinement period significantly.
