The Punjab and Haryana High Court on Tuesday acquitted Dera Sacha Sauda chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh and four others in the 2002 murder case of Dera manager Ranjit Singh. The division bench of Justice Sureshwar Thakur and Justice Lalit Batra allowed the appeals filed by the five against their conviction order by a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) court. This decision overturns an October 2021 ruling that found them guilty under various sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
