Jailed Dera sect chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh’s close supporter Honeypreet Insan was on Wednesday sent to six days police remand by a court in Panchkula.
The Haryana Police had hunted 14 days police remand.
Earlier in the day, Honeypreet was produced in the court here, a day after her arrest in adjoining Punjab.
Court sources said that Honeypreet was in full of tears before the court and appealed with folded hands that she was not guilty.
The prosecution sought police remand for Honeypreet, saying she was the closest aide of the rapist sect chief and knew many things about the activities of the sect and its role in the violence in Panchkula and other places after the August 25 conviction of Ram Rahim on two counts of rape.
The police remand was opposed by Honeypreet’s defense counsel who claimed that Honeypreet was encircled with tight security and had no role in the violence in Panchkula on August 25. Officials of the Special Investigation Team of Haryana Police had earlier questioned Honeypreet, whose real name is Priyanka Taneja.
Honeypreet remained escapee for 38 days after she was booked by Haryana Police on the charge of incitement to rebellion. She was arrested on Tuesday from the Zirakpur-Patiala highway, about 15 km from Chandigarh.
