Chandigarh: Violence erupted in several towns of five states including Punjab and Haryana soon after a CBI special court on Friday held controversial godman Dera Sacha Sauda chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh guilty of the rape and sexual exploitation of two female disciples in 2002.

The locals equipped with traditional weapons destroyed everything that came into their sight.
