Honeypreet Insan, the adopted daughter of Dera Sacha Sauda chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim, was arrested on Tuesday in Punjab. She was wanted by the Haryana police for her suspected job in provocative Panchkula violence after Gurmeet Ram Rahim's rape conviction on August 25, after Ram Rahim was convicted of two counts of rape by a special CBI court.

“Ms. Honeypreet has been arrested from near Zirakpur in Punjab (on Zirakpur-Patiala road) by our team and would be present in the court tomorrow,” said Panchkula Commissioner of Police, A. S. Chawla.

“We need to examine her job role behind the Panchkula violence on August 25 and hence we will seek her police remand.”

Panchkula police had booked Honeypreet, among others, for allegedly inciting violence and rioting in the town. Police had issued a lookout notice for Honeypreet, who is also facing allegations of an attempt to help Ram Rahim escape when he was brought outside the Panchkula Court complex after conviction.

Haryana police had been hunting for Honeypreet since August 25.

Honeypreet had gone together with the Dera chief to Sunaria jail in Rohtak - the same day, by helicopter after his conviction and since then she has been hiding.

The violence in Haryana left 41 people dead and injured over 250.
