CHANDIGARH: Adopted daughter of convicted Dera Sacha Sauda chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh, Honeypreet Insan may get life imprisonment if found guilty in connection with a sedition and criminal conspiracy case. The “Papa's Angel” has been charged for allegedly conspiring and inciting violence in Panchkula following conviction of Gurmeet in two rape cases by the local CBI court.

Honeypreet was produced before a session court in Panchkula last week. Twenty two people, including Honeypreet, have been given sedition charges by the special investigation team (SIT) of the Haryana police. The chargesheet describes that she hatched the conspiracy to spread violence in Panchkula at the Dera headquarters with the 45-member management committee.

Currently in Ambala Central Jail, Honeypreet is booked under various sections. If the court finds her guilty under section 121A and section 120B of the IPC, Honeypreet can be convicted with life imprisonment. Last year on August 25, Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh was convicted of raping two female followers. Large-scale violence spread in Panchkula and Sirsa following the conviction, causing the death of 38 people and injury to 264 others.
