While the rape convict Gurmeet Ram Rahim is a sex addict, there are reports that a sizeable chunk of his aides are homosexual.

Sources close to Dera say the male followers who were lucky and were not castrated, became homosexuals.

Having spent six years in the controversial sect headquarters at Sirsa, Gurdas Singh Toor says that it is due to the restrictions on the male followers that they became homosexuals.

"Gurmeet Ram Rahim was jealous of other men and never allowed them to mingle with the female followers."

"He even compelled the male followers to call their wives as 'sisters'. Men were not allowed to stare at the female followers called sadhvis. And if caught, they were given punishment."

"While some were publicly humiliated by blackening their faces and asking them to ride donkeys, some were even slapped publicly. Public humiliation was the biggest fear that compelled male followers to become gay," says Gurdas Singh Toor.

Gurdas Singh Toor had himself spotted some male followers in compromising position. He had also brought to notice of Gurmeet Ram Rahim a particular case of young men doing the act in a prayer hall.

"Homosexuality was a reality in Dera. I complained to Gurmeet Ram Rahim personally when I witnessed that an unnatural sex act was being performed in a room which I had entered suddenly," says Toor.

While some male followers practiced homosexuality to satiate their carnal desires, some even indulged in crime by sexually exploiting the juniors or the new entrants. Those who raised a voice were humiliated and were compelled to leave the Dera.

The wrongdoings of Gurmeet Ram Rahim's close aides were hushed up by the inmates who feared for their lives.

Half a dozen aides of the rapist Baba are accused of hatching conspiracies to murder, attempt to murder and other heinous crimes.

Another Dera Chief accused of sodomising a child

After Gurmeet Ram Rahim, another self styled godman is in the news.

Identified as Joginder Singh alias Jaggi Baba, he runs his Dera from Lal Kalan village in Samrala. The baba alongwith his aide Chotta Money are accused of thrashing and sodomising a 10-year-old child, their Dera inmate who hails from Karnal.

The victim brought the matter to the notice of Samrala Police which arrested the accused Dera followers.

"The victim is the class mate of my son who is the student of 5th standard. He had come to my house and was hungry. He showed me all the wounds on his body. There were bruise marks on his back and down under besides the legs. He was sodomized, the wounds clearly showed"

"We approached the village headman he refused to help us as he was afraid of Baba."

"The money makes the mare go and can compel anybody to bow down before the lie. He was speaking the language of the Baba. We took the child to the hospital but the police did not help us"

"The cops were given money. Everybody has seen the child but nobody is coming forward to help him. He was sodomised and has told us everything"

"We want justice for him. He is like our child and the truth should be brought to the fore. Please do something for the child ," says Bhupinder Kaur, an eyewitness who says that the Baba's goons can also attack any other child in future.

Another resident of Samrala, Palwinder Singh also confirmed that the boy was ill treated and sodomised.

"The child was dropped by his parents to school. The child told us that Joginder Singh (Jaggi Baba) used to beat him up. The child has given a statement. He was not under any pressure. We took him to the hospital and to the police station. He had told the police that Baba had sodomised him," says Palwinder Singh another resident.
