Gurmeet Ram Rahim, rape convict and Dera Sacha chief, gets permission to leave jail for 21 days
The Haryana government has extended a 21-day parole to Gurmeet Ram Rahim, the incarcerated leader of Dera Sacha Sauda. Currently serving sentences in two rape cases and facing life imprisonment for two distinct murder cases, this latest grant of parole constitutes his sixth temporary release within a span of 21 months.
The decision to grant parole has raised eyebrows, considering the gravity of the charges against him. This move has sparked discussions about the criteria and considerations involved in such decisions, particularly when it involves a high-profile inmate with serious criminal convictions.
