Chandigarh: Punjab and Haryana High Courts on Saturday slammed Haryana government and said, "you let Panchkula burn for political benefits," reported ANI.

A day after self-styled godman Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh was found guilty of raping two of his followers in 2002, his violent supporters caused riots and burned vehicles which killed 31 people and injured over 250.

Both High Courts asked the state government for details of Ram Rahim Singh's movable and immovable properties in Punjab and Haryana, the report added.

The next hearing is scheduled for August 29.
