Special CBI judge Jagdeep Singh sentenced Dera Sacha Sauda chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh to 10 years of imprisonment. The sentencing came three days after the CBI court in Panchkula convicted Singh in a 2002 rape case. A three-tier security ring was set up around the district jail.
The Dera chief was sent for a medical examination and then will be given a prison uniform and will be allotted a jail cell.
