Honeypreet Insan likely to surrender before court today

NEW DELHI: Honeypreet Insan, "adopted daughter" of jailed Dera Sacha Sauda sect chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh, is likely to surrender before court on Tuesday after being on the run for over a month.

The Delhi high court last week dismissed her transit anticipatory bail application.

Honeypreet alias Priyanka Taneja, went into hiding soon after large-scale violence broke out in different parts of Haryana, Punjab and Delhi on August 25 following Ram Rahim's conviction in two rape cases. She and other top Dera members were booked for inciting violence.


There had been reports that Honeypreet had fled to Nepal following Ram Rahim's sentencing.

"I was very much in India, I did not go to Nepal," she told TV channels on Tuesday.

Honeypreet claimed she is innocent.

"Truth will prevail and the world will see this. I'm pained and shocked, how can the world do this to us? We are great patriots and we love India," said Honeypreet.
