Overview
- Officials said the Rohtak Divisional Commissioner approved the parole, with Singh expected to leave Sunaria jail as early as Sunday or Monday.
- Singh is serving a 20-year sentence for raping two disciples and was also convicted in 2019 for the murder of journalist Ram Chander Chhatrapati.
- This marks his 15th temporary release since 2017, following multiple paroles and furloughs in 2024–2025, including a 40-day parole in August.
- He is expected to stay at Dera Sacha Sauda’s Sirsa headquarters during the parole, a location he has used on several prior releases.
- The state cites good conduct and the 2022 law expanding temporary release, while Sikh bodies and the victim’s family continue to oppose the repeated relief; his cumulative days out of jail are set to exceed roughly 400.
