Thousands Evacuated From Ram Rahim's Base, Sentencing Today | Read

The estimated 30,000 followers of self-styled guru Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh, who were inside the headquarters of his sect, the Dera Sacha Sauda in Haryana's Sirsa, started moving out on Sunday evening. Around 6 pm, the security forces brought 100 state transport buses to ferry them out, resolving the stalemate that had been in continuing since Ram Rahim's conviction in a rape case on Friday. The Haryana police said they have made sufficient security arrangements to ensure peace today in Rohtak and Sirsa. The Dera chief will be sentenced at 2 pm inside a jail in Rohtak, where he is lodged.
