Chandigarh, Sep 25: Dera Sacha Sauda Chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh who is convicted in two rape cases has filed an appeal in Punjab and Haryana High Court in Chandigarh, challenging the verdict of the special CBI court that sentenced him to 20-years of rigorous imprisonment.

His counsel Vishal Garg Narwana on Monday said that the High Court is yet to accept the appeal. The CBI verdict has been challenged on various grounds, the most important being the six year delay by the CBI in recording the statements of the victims.

The CBI had claimed that the two women followers were sexually exploited in 1999 and the agency recorded their statement in 2005, Garg said.

He alleged that the CBI had also concealed some portion of the victims’ statement.

The medical examination of the victims not being conducted is another ground that has been cited in the petition.

Ram Rahim was convicted by the special CBI court on August 25, following which violence and arson had erupted in Panchkula and Sirsa districts which left 41 people dead and many injured..

The judge pronounced two sentences of 10 years rigorous imprisonment in each of the two rapes that date back to 2002.

Currently lodged in the Rohtak jail, the self-styled godman is also facing trial in two murder related cases. The cases are in the final stages and the hearing may be proclaimed next month.

    Dera Sacha Sauda chief, Gurmeet Ram Rahim, the self-made godman, was convicted on rape charges last month, and was sentenced to 20 years of imprisonment by a special Central Bureau of Investigation for two rape counts.
    But still their are two murder case is pending against him now he has full hopes of present justice system which rewards any criminal and politician with 'clean chit'.
    A special investigation team has unearthed 600 skeletons buried inside the Sirsa-based Dera Sacha Sauda compound in north India's Haryana just days after an intensive search. Apart from this illegal chemical factory, unlicenced automatic weapons, illegal abortion clinics, demonetised currency, and unlicensed medicines is yet to be proved.
    How does BJP Haryana government can continue to allow it run and provide air conditioned cell citing 'space constraint'?
    How does his so called adopted daughter can escape when the whole nation has seen her accompanying rape convict in government provide helicopter?
    Only in India Politicians and Goodman gets special privilege and common man can be held for years without charges.
    In Gujarat Cabinet Minister in the CM Modi government convicted for 28 years for 97 peoples murder is on bail since 2014 citing health reason. She comes out appeal against her conviction and BJP party president testify her by misleading the court. When actor Sanjay Dutt was in jail BJP is accused Congress of lenient. Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt - who was released from jail in February - made his first public appearance, on a Bharatiya Janata Party platform clicks happy pictures with BJP leaders.
    This Godman raping his daughters on the pretext of 'Pitaji Maffi' should have hanged for many times. But Indian justice system has been so weakened that even convicted criminals has high hopes and also emboldened them because of 'clean chit' trend to the politicians.
