Honeypreet Insaan to stay with Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh at hospital after the latter tested positive for Covid-19
Soon after after Dera Sacha Sauda chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh was admitted to the Medanta Hospital in Gurgaon on Sunday, where he also tested positive for Covid-19, his confidante Honeypreet Insaan too reached the medical facility where she was registered as an attendant. Honeypreet was issued an attendant card and will be staying at the hospital.
Honeyepreet, whose real name is Priyanka Taneja, and 39 others were booked on charges of sedition after violence broke out on August 25, 2017 soon after Gurmeet Ram Rahim was convicted on charges of raping two woman and sentenced with 20 years imprisonment by a Panchkula court. Over 41 people lost their lives in the violence.
While the sedition charge was later dropped, but Honeypreet continues to face charges of criminal conspiracy besides various other provisions of Indian Penal Code including Sections 145, 146, 150, 152 and 120-B.
She was arrested in October 2017 and released on bail from Ambala jail in November 2019. The next month, she met the jailed dera chief in prison.
Sources in the Haryana prisons department told The Indian Express that besides other health issues, the 53-year old dera chief, who was admitted to Medanta Sunday, is suffering from severe pancreatic disorder.
This is the fourth time in less than a month when Gurmeet Ram Rahim has been taken out of Rohtak’s Sunaria prison — thrice on medical grounds and once to meet his ailing mother.
Last week, he was taken to Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences (PGIMS), Rohtak, after he complained of abdominal pain.
On May 17, he was taken out of prison to meet his ailing mother. The government and jail authorities had kept the location as “classified” in wake of heightened security threat to him and to avoid his followers gathering at the place.
Prior to that, on May 12, he was taken out of jail to Rohtak’s PGIMS after he complained of blood pressure and nausea. A board of doctors had examined him in the hospital then for more than six hours.

What monkey fled with a bag containing evidence in it: Read full story
The court, generally, considers a person who commit a crime and the one who destroys the evidence, as criminals in the eyes of law. But what if an animal destroys the evidence of a crime committed by a human.
In a peculiar incident in Rajasthan, a monkey fled away with the evidence collected by the police in a murder case. The stolen evidence included the murder weapon (a blood-stained knife).
The incident came to light when the police appeared before the court and they had to provide the evidence in the hearing.
The hearing was about the crime which took place in September 2016, in which a person named Shashikant Sharma died at a primary health center under Chandwaji police station. After the body was found, the deceased’s relatives blocked the Jaipur-Delhi highway, demanding an inquiry into the matter.
Following the investigation, the police had arrested Rahul Kandera and Mohanlal Kandera, residents of Chandwaji in relation to the murder. But, when the time came to produce the evidence related to the case, it was found that the police had no evidence with them because a monkey had stolen it from them.
In the court, the police said that the knife, which was the primary evidence, was also taken by the monkey. The cops informed that the evidence of the case was kept in a bag, which was being taken to the court.
The evidence bag contained the knife and 15 other important evidences. However, due to the lack of space in the malkhana, a bag full of evidence was kept under a tree, which led to the incident.
