How Dera chief Ram Rahim spends jail time: Growing veggies for Rs 20 a day
Used to a life of ultra-luxury, disgraced Dera Sacha Sauda sect chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh will now earn a daily wage of Rs 20 for cultivating a small farm holding near his prison barrack and growing vegetables. The rapist sect chief, who used to spend millions of rupees on his public appearances and crores to build flashy mansions for his comfort, will now have to survive on his meager earnings from manual work inside the prison, Director General K P Singh, Jails, said on Tuesday. He told media here that Gurmeet Singh was being treated as a common prisoner in jail and would be assigned farming work from next month as part of the 20-year rigorous imprisonment sentence awarded to him by a CBI special court.
"Jail rules allow two persons having a blood relation to talk to a prisoner over the phone. The prisoner is allowed to talk after police verification of the phone numbers. Gurmeet Singhgave two phone numbers,one of which belongs to Honeypreet, while the other is his own. Honeypreet's number is not reachable and Gurmeet Singh might have left his phone in the Dera."
