All the citizens of India were left shell shocked with the violent protests that took place after the CBI court convicted controversial godman Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh, who is the head of Sirsa-based Dera Sacha Sauda, in a 2002 rape case.

While the court’s landmark decision has been held by many, Ram Rahim’s followers have not taken it kindly and have caused widespread violence in several parts of Punjab and Haryana.

According to media reports, at least 36 people have died in the clashes with 28 casualties in Panchkula. Ever since the court’s convict came out, the followers have gone on the rampage setting fire to vehicles, buildings and railway stations.

The riots have also spread to Delhi, Noida and Ghaziabad with empty buses and train coaches being set on fire allegedly by Dera supporters. Such has been the devastation of these violent protests that the government was forced to deploy army.
