the alleged involvement in the homicide case concerning journalist Ram Chander Chhatarpati. Preceding these events, he initiated legal contestations against all verdicts brought against him before the higher echelons of the judiciary.
The annals of judicial history mark the 18th day of October in the year 2021 as the juncture where the specialized tribunal under the purview of the Central Bureau of Investigation, seated in Panchkula, pronounced a verdict of culpability in the matter of Ranjit Singh’s demise, decreeing a life-long incarceration for the Dera leader. The tragic incident unfolded in the year 2002 within the confines of Khanpur Koliya village situated in the precincts of Kurukshetra, where the life of Ranjit Singh was tragically cut short by the malevolent actions of four unidentified assailants, purportedly acting under the covert directives of the Dera chief. The identities of two among the perpetrators remain shrouded in mystery, eluding the grasp of justice.
The judicial narrative, as presented by the CBI tribunal, posits the demise of Ranjit Singh as a consequence of the Dera chief’s suspicions regarding his complicity in the dissemination of an anonymous missive, laying bare the egregious acts of sexual exploitation perpetrated against female adherents within the precincts of the Dera.
In the unfolding drama, the CBI narrative delineates a sequence of events wherein Ranjit Singh was summoned to the Dera premises in the fateful month of June in the year 2002, coinciding with the emergence of the incriminating missive. Confronted with veiled threats of severe reprisals, Ranjit Singh steadfastly refused to capitulate, steadfast in his assertion of innocence.
Furthermore, the judicial scales tipped against the Dera chief as he was meted out a punitive sentence of two decades, stemming from the heinous crime of violating the sanctity of two devout sadhvis. Casting a retrospective glance to the year 2019, the annals of jurisprudence bear testimony to the conviction of Ram Rahim and three accomplices in the ghastly slaying of journalist Chander Chhatrapati, an incident etched in the annals of history, spanning a time frame of sixteen years.
