In 2 murder cases Rape convict Dera Sacha Sauda chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh, at present lodged in Rohtak jail, will face trial in the special CBI court in Panchkula through video conferencing, beginning Saturday.

CBI judge Jagdeep Singh approved permission in this regard on Friday after Panchkula deputy commissioner of police (DCP) Mahabir Singh stimulated an application before the court, opposing that they cannot bring the dera chief in person due to law and order problem.

Ram Rahim has been wedged in Rohtak’s Sunaria jail since August 25 after the CBI court found guilty him for raping two of her female followers. The court sentenced him to 20-year jail term on August 28.

The dera chief has been named as the main conspirator in the murder cases of Sirsa-based journalist Ram Chander Chhatrapati and dera member Ranjit Singh.

While Ranjit Singh was killed near his village in Kurukshetra district in July 2002, Chhatrapati was shot dead in front of his house in Sirsa a couple of months later in October 2002.

The CBI claimed that both of them were murdered at the behest of the dera chief after they tried to expose the nefarious activities of dera.

Sources said the final arguments in both the cases are probable to set in motion on Saturday.

The CBI counsel, said, may seek daily hearing in the two cases in order to conclude the arguments at the earliest.
