New Delhi, Oct 6: A day after Panchkula Police Commissioner AS Chawla said that Honeypreet is not co-operating in the ongoing interrogation, the Dera Sacha Sauda supporters in police custody on Friday claimed that Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh’s ‘adopted’ daughter had masterminded the August 25 violence in Panchkula.

According to the media reports, Honeypreet alias Priyanka Taneja had chaired a meeting on August 17 in which it was decided that if the special CBI court pronounce the verdict in favour of Gurmeet Ram Rahim, the godman would deliver a speech in Sirsa and if the judge, Jagdeep Singh sentence him, the Dera supporters would create ruckus.

It has also been revealed that Honeypreet had sanctioned Rs 1.25 crore to Dera supporters before August 25 verdict to spread violence, which claimed lives of 38 people in Panchkula. The Haryana police also said that they might conduct a narco test on Gurmeet Ram Rahim’s closest aide.

As per the Haryana police, Ram Rahim’s adopted daughter had created a whatsapp group which had all the followers of self-styled godman, who created massive furore after the court verdict. Honeypreet, the adopted daughter of Dera Sacha Sauda Chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh, was arrested by the Haryana Police on Tuesday, on the highway near Chandigarh, along with another woman.

Punjab Congress leader and former legislator Harminder Singh Jassi, whose daughter is married to Ram Rahim’s son, is suspected to have used the protection of the security personnel provided by Punjab government to help Honeypreet evade arrest.

The Haryana Police was on the lookout for Honeypreet in connection with the violence that broke out in Panchkula August 25, when Ram Rahim was declared guilty of rape by a special CBI court.

Mangaluru: A tragic accident took place on Saturday at Chembugudde near Thokkottu, claiming the life of a 47-year-old woman after a tanker lorry ran over her. The victim, identified as Rahmat H Rashid, was riding pillion with her husband, Abdul Rashid G, on their scooter.

The couple was traveling from Yenepoya Hospital to Bajpe when the scooter skidded on the poorly maintained road. Rahmat fell onto the road and was fatally struck by a tanker lorry that was coming from behind. Despite being rushed to the hospital, doctors declared her dead upon arrival.

The incident prompted a swift response from the DYFI Ullal Taluk Committee, which staged a protest on Saturday night, condemning the unsafe condition of the road. Nithin Kuthar, president of the committee, criticized MLA and Legislative Assembly Speaker UT Khader for failing to ensure safe infrastructure, despite touting the road as toll-free.

Kuthar demanded immediate repairs, warning that the committee would march to the MLA’s office with black flags if the road is not fixed within a week.

Former DYFI State President Sunil Kumar Bajal also voiced frustration over the deteriorating condition of Thokkottu market, highlighting the struggles people face while crossing roads riddled with dangerous potholes. In response to public outcry, temporary repairs were made to the road at Chembugudde on Sunday, though locals remain wary and demand a more permanent solution.
