Ram Rahim’s 14th Parole Sparks Fresh Outrage
Controversial Dera Sacha Sauda chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh was granted a 40-day parole on August 5, 2025, marking his fourteenth such release since his conviction for rape and murder in 2017. This latest parole coincides with his birthday.
The parole allows him to reside at the Dera Sacha Sauda headquarters in Sirsa, Haryana. However, authorities have imposed strict conditions, prohibiting large gatherings at the premises.
This frequent release of a convicted rapist and murderer has ignited a fresh wave of criticism from various quarters. Opposition parties and women’s rights groups have voiced strong concerns over the decision.
The timing of the parole, coinciding with his birthday, has further fueled the controversy, raising questions about the fairness and transparency of the process.
This incident underscores the ongoing debate surrounding the balance between prisoner rights and public safety, particularly in cases involving high-profile figures with a history of violence and widespread condemnation. The impact of such decisions on public perception of the justice system remains a significant concern.
