Gurmeet Ram Rahim’s aide Vipassana Insan is hiding from cops. (Video grab)

Just like Honeypreet Insaan, who had gone into hiding when cops went after her for conspiring Panchkula violence in the aftermath of conviction of Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh in August last year, another close aide of the rape convict Dera chief has gone into hiding. Honeypreet was arrested in October last after she played 38 days of hide and seek with Haryana police. Honeypreet, the adopted daughter of Gurmeet Ram Rahim, who is often referred to as a”papa’s favourite angel”, was among the 43 most-wanted people searched by police following the rioting in Panchkula after the sentencing of Gurmeet Ram Rahim on August 25 last.

Months after Honeypreet’s arrest, another aide of Ram Rahim, Vipassana Insan has gone into hiding after learning that police are looking for her. Vipassana Insan is the administrator of Sirsa-based Dera Sacha Sauda. She was questioned by Sirsa police around two months ago in connection with the violence after conviction of Ram Rahim. However, at that time she was only grilled over the whereabouts of Honeypreet and some incidents in Sirsa.

After getting sufficient evidence against Vipassana, police have now got an arrest warrant against her from a local court. However, she has gone into hiding, according to a report by Hindustan Times. The report further says that police have searched for her in several places including the Dera premises and her hometown Karnal. But she has not been arrested yet.

Police, however, believe, they will soon catch Vipassana. Police also believe that Vipassana was involved in the conspiracy to spread arson in Panchkula on August 25 last year. In fact, she was also present in the courtroom when Ram Rahim was convicted.

According to HT, two days after the violence in Panchkula, Honeypreet had handed over her mobile phone to Vipassana before herself going into hiding.

On Sunday last, Special Investigation Team (SIT) of Haryana police arrested another close aide of rape convict Dera Sachha Sauda chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim. The close aide of Ram Rahim, Dr MP Singh alias Mahender Insan, allegedly used to perform castration on Dera followers. He was arrested from the Dera Sachcha Sauda headquarters in Sirsa.

On the direction of Ram Rahim, Mahender, who is a qualified surgeon, had allegedly castrated scores of Dera followers. According to a report by India Today, Mahender is accused of castrating as many as 300 followers of Ram Rahim.

Dera Sacha Sauda chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim was sentenced to 10 years of imprisonment in August last year by the Special CBI Court of Panchkula in connection with a decade-old rape case.

The Dera chief was found guilty of rape in a case that stemmed from an anonymous written complaint in April 2002 that he had sexually exploited two female followers. The case was registered by CBI in December 2002 on the directions of the Punjab and Haryana High Court. The CBI had filed the charge sheet against the Dera head in Ambala court in July 2007. The charge sheet mentioned sexual exploitation of two ‘Sadhvis’ (women followers) between 1999 and 2001.
