Good riddance.
17 cult followers eliminated.
Today was a good day.

How do you know it was the the cult followers? Could have been the regular people as well. As of now it is not clear how the people died - police action or cult followers action.

Well first of all seriously don't blame us.

Secondly. Pir shir and Gandhi nasheens. Koi hal nahi hai inks chahay jis mazhab say taluq rakhay.

So they are protesting that their chief pir was caught in an unfair trial. Oh boy. The trial was rape case involving two of his followers.


First of all.

Mindless drones. The people who follow such characters follow them like blind zombies. They will protect all ills of these pirs no matter what and they would attack and kill in the name of these pirs. Religious doctrines be damned for them.

Secondly.

The court found him guilty.... So they are challenging the courts and state with this hooliganism.

Unfair trial. Yeah I wonder about it. Apparently when it goes for these characters the trial is fair and when its against then its unfair. No difference between this and the case of nawaza.
I doubt the trial was unfair and evidences must have been taken into account as well as the claim of the women and their statement. Sorry but calling the trial unfair just like that sounds rubbish.

The judgment will highlight the flaws in arguments and the strength of evidence and the statements of women.

Quite frankly I hate hooliganism especially against courts when they meet out justice just bcz a few blind zombies couldn't take it.

Need to control this as soon as possible.

RIP to the dead.

Spiritual leader allegedly manipulated 400 men into removing testicles to be 'closer to God'

A man has been accused of encouraging hundreds of followers to be castrated in a promise for them to become closer to God.

Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh, an Indian pop-star and telepreacher with a reported wealth of more than $50 million, is being investigated after he allegedly manipulated around 400 men to get their testicles removed – according to India Today.

One of his former followers who underwent castration seven years ago – named Hans Raj Chauhan – is one of the few to break the silence to speak out against him and the group.

“[The victims] were told that only those who get castrated will be able to meet God,” said Chauhan’s lawyer, Navkiran Singh, according to the Sydney Morning Herald.

Chauhan, 35, filed a petition against the guru in 2012 and the Central Bureau of Investigation has started looking into claims dating back as far back as 2000 in preparation of charges of grievous bodily harm. However many followers are believed to be in fear of speaking out.

In January, MailOnline reported how Singh, the head of the Dera Sacha Sauda organisation, had hit back at the allegations. At a press conference for his new film he said: “Such allegations disturb me, when I am doing good for humanity. Therefore me and my legal advisor are going to move the court challenging the allegations.”

The alleged castrations were said to be mainly carried out at a hospital run by the DSS in Singh’s ancestral village Gurusar Modia, in the Hanumangarh district of Rajasthan.

The DSS also owns factories, markets, farms, restaurants, hotels and runs schools and orphanages, according to Latterly Magazine.

Singh – who has more than 87,000 Twitter followers but is not a follower of anyone – describes himself on a social media bio as a “spiritual Saint/philanthropist/versatile singer/allrounder sportsperson/film director/art director/music director/script writer/lyricist/autobiographer/DOP”.



India has its own falun gong too. Didn't realize it he was a whacko.

Sounds like third rate cheap rockband with cult following.

Faith is the real problem, faith can distort reality and bring in superstition beyond logic and sense.
Faith causes perfectly normal humans to commit ghastly acts.

This is a perfect example of twisted faith and its effects.

Difference is we do not put them in Jail or "Ban" them till they actually do a criminal act that can be proved in a court of law.

Sikhs must send a letter calling for chinese intervention

Majority of his followers are Hindus.

Faith can also convert evil men into good men. Inspire people to do great things.

This is just an example of a man breaking the law and ending up in Jail.

Nah, he grown too powerful. Normally, if you want to get rid of someone, there is no better way then to frame him. It also helps to shaken the faith of his followers. Too common tactic.

Yes, that's why I said that twisted faith is the problem.
Twisted faith results in such organisation like Aum Shinrikiyo, people's temple, Isis and Dera sacha sauda.
