Angry followers discard Ram Rahim’s pictures into drains

Sriganganagar: Sriganganagar’s drains were blocked with hundreds of of Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh’s photographs.
Devendra Rathore, the chief sanitation inspector of Rajasthan’s Sriganganagar, was in for a shock when he went to inspect a few choked drains of the city earlier this week to find photos of self-proclaimed godman Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh, now in jail after being convicted of twin rapes.
“The drains near Meera Chowk and Sukhadia Circle were choked by the photos which restricted the water flow. There were more than hundred photos along with posters of the godman which appears to have been thrown away by his devotees,” Rathore told a news channel.
“We discovered more such photos in other areas of the city and they had to be fished out of the drains in order to start the water supply. Later, we dumped them at the garbage depot,” said Rathore.
Gurmeet Singh was born in the Sriganganagar district and a large number of people there worshipped the Dera Sacha Sauda chief. However, they seem to have gotten disillusioned by the ‘guru of bling’ after his conviction in the twin rape cases.
