Witness Family in US Gets Haryana Police Protection Amid Dera Threats
Haryana Police have reinstated security for the family of a key witness in the Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh castration case. The witness, currently residing in the United States, had earlier sought protection citing credible death threats from Dera Sacha Sauda supporters.
Initial police protection was withdrawn, prompting concerns about the family’s safety. Following intervention by the CBI and a fresh threat assessment, security was restored.
The decision highlights the ongoing challenges faced by witnesses in high-profile cases, particularly those involving influential figures. The incident underscores the need for robust witness protection programs in India to ensure justice and prevent intimidation.
This development comes as a crucial reminder of the potential risks faced by those who come forward to testify against powerful individuals. The safety and security of witnesses are essential for a fair and just legal system. The case raises questions about the efficacy of witness protection measures and the need for improved protocols to safeguard those who bravely come forward.
