Dera Sacha Sauda chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim, who is serving a 20-year jail term for raping two of his disciples, walked out of the district jail in Sunariya village here on Tuesday after being granted a 30-day parole.

This is the 16 time since August 2017 that Ram Rahim has been released on parole or furlough after being awarded the jail term by a special CBI court in Panchkula.

He came out of the jail premises around 6:35 am in an SUV amid tight police security arrangements.

Earlier this year, Ram Rahim was granted a 40-day parole in January.

The Dera Sacha Sauda chief is serving a 20-year sentence after being convicted in 2017 for raping two of his disciples.
