CHANDIGARH: In a major respite to Gurmeet Ram Rahim, the controversial chief of Dera Sacha Sauda who is undergoing imprisonment in Rohtak’s Sunaria jail after being convicted for two murders and two rapes, the Punjab and Haryana high court has held that he does not fall in the category of “hardcore prisoners” for the purpose of release on parole or furlough.
With this, there would be no legal hurdle for the dera chief’s release on parole or furlough in the future.
