Rape convict Dera Sacha Sauda head Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh, who has been sentenced to 20 years of rigorous imprisonment, has mentioned his close confidante and adopted daughter Honeypreet Insan as the person he wishes to speak to. He is lodged in the high security Sunaria jail of of Rohtak.

Unaware of the fact that Honeypreet is the most wanted accused+ of Haryana police for the violence that erupted after his conviction, sources said Gurmeet is eager to be in touch with her, reports The Times of India.

According to Sunaria jail officials, one of the two numbers Gurmeet has given to the staff to connect him is that of Honeypreet. The other number provided by him is the one he used before leaving the dera premises on August 25 for Panchkula for hearing the verdict in the rape cases against him.

‘We have given both numbers to the police for verification. Secondly, Honeypreet is an accused facing serious charges, hence it may not be possible to connect her with the dera head until she comes out clean,’ Haryana DGP (prisons) K P Singh said on Tuesday.
