14. That this Hon’ble Court vide its order dated 26.08.2017 directed
to furnish the details about the number of vehicles accompanying
Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh while travelling to Chandigarh and
number of passengers travelled in each car. In this regard, it is
respectfully submitted that Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh was given
Z+ security category by Haryana Government since 2007 and
there had been a history of attack on him while travelling in
district Karnal in the year 2008. Keeping in view this, Inspector
General of Police/Hisar Range, Hisar was deputed to accompany
Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh from Sirsa upto Narwana and
Inspector General of Police, Karnal Range, Karnal was deputed to
accompany him from Narwana to Special CBI Court, Panchkula
and further journey. As per the report of Inspector General of
Police, Hisar Range, Hisar, the security vehicles in the cavalcade
of Dera Sacha Sauda Chief who is Z+ protectee of Haryana State
are under the charge of Inspector Sat Pal from CID Haryana for
past several years. The security vehicles including one Pilot
vehicle, one Escort vehicle, one Jammer vehicle accompany the - 27 -
Dera Sacha Sauda Chief in the cavalcade. In addition to this, a pilot and escort vehicle is detailed by the concerned district. An
Ambulance, Crane, Fire brigade and striking reserve vehicles are also provided by the concerned district Police. The Dera Sacha
Sauda Chief travels in five black coloured identical SUVs with dark glasses. Each SUV has a Gypsy vehicle with private security as an escort. In addition to the above, the cavalcade generally also includes security vehicles detailed by Punjab Police for his security. Great secrecy is maintained about the seating plan of the five identical SUVs and the same is not shared with the district police and district administration. In addition to above, a variable number of private vehicles carrying dera followers typically accompany the Dera Sacha Sauda Chief in cavalcade. As per the report by Sh. Ravinder Kumar, DSP/Ellenabad, Sirsa, the total number of vehicles that formed the cavalcade of Dera Sacha
Sauda Chief including the security vehicles as detailed above is estimated to be 350/400. He has further submitted that there is no way of providing an accurate estimate of number of passengers who travelled in the cavalcade. The Dera Sacha
Sauda Chief had been accorded permission to travel alongwith his car-cade from Sirsa to Panchkula for the specific purpose of attending the CBI Court by SDM Sirsa vide his office letter No.
Spl. 1-2 dated 24.08.17. The IGP, Hisar Range was directed to ensure the Dera Sacha Sauda Chief should not be stopped enroute by his followers within the jurisdiction of Hisar Range while travelling from Sirsa to Panchkula. Proper instructions were given to SsP Sirsa, Fatehabad, Hisar and Jind for making appropriate deployment for ensuring that no obstruction was - 28 -
caused by the followers/devotees of dera who were standing in
large number on both sides of route of the roads for catching a
glimpse (darshan) of the Dera Sacha Sauda Chief. The effective
deployment ensured that no obstruction was posed to the travel
of the Dera Sacha Sauda Chief for attending the C.B.I. Court at
Panchkula. The responsibility of ensuring unobstructed onward
travel from Narwana to Panchkula was handed over to Inspector
General of Police, Karnal Range, Karnal on the border of districts
Jind and Kaithal as per the instructions of Police Head-Quarters.
It is submitted that the atmosphere in the dera and all along the
route was highly surcharged and great care was taken to prevent
any untoward incident that could have possibly led to a failure of
Dera Sacha Sauda Chief to attend the court of 25.08.17. Any
attempt to stop or reduce the number of vehicles travelling with
the Dera Head would have been a potential flashpoint in the
highly emotionally surcharged atmosphere and would have
jeopardized the plans of the police to ensure his presence in CBI
Court. The report received from Inspector General of Police,
Karnal Range, Karnal is also on the same lines. It is a well known
fact that he has mass following and bringing him from his Dera
Sacha Sauda, Sirsa under warrant of arrest was fraught with the
danger of very high rates of casualties and extensive damages to
public as well as private properties in district Sirsa and other
areas of his strong hold in Punjab, Rajasthan, Delhi and
Chandigarh.
15. That it is further submitted that about 2 Kilometers after the
cavalcade had entered the jurisdiction of district Panchkula, a
high resolution camera installed by Municipal Corporation, - 29 -
Panchkula has recorded the cavalcade to be consisting of 173
vehicles which included 16 Police vehicles (as per “Police” written
on the vehicles) and including 3 Ambulances and one Fire-
Brigade. Out of the 58 vehicles (including luxury vehicles) seized
by Panchkula Police 51 have been identified to be a part of the
cavalcade.
16. That it is submitted that Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh was on bail
before his conviction and he was appearing before the Special
CBI Court on his own volition in compliance of the order of the
trial court through Video Conferencing. There was no order to
bring him to the Special CBI Court in custody. The duty of the
State Police was to ensure his safe journey to the Court, he being
Z+ protectee. Further securing the presence of the accused
Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh was the top priority of the
authorities, so that he may not take the plea of threat to his life
as a ground for his non-appearance before the Special CBI Court,
Panchkula.
17. That so far as the information regarding instructions to the
learned Advocate General, Haryana about Gurmeet Ram Rahim
Singh travelling to Chandigarh in 5 vehicles is concerned, it is
most respectfully submitted that there appear to have been a
communication gap about communication from Police Control
Room in this regard. As per the security arrangements, the
restriction of travelling in 5 vehicles was only for entering the
highly secured area adjoining the Court premises and not for the
travelling purposes from Sirsa to Panchkula. Infact, after
reviewing the security arrangements, the number of 5 vehicles
were finally curtailed to 2 vehicles only in which Gurmeet Ram - 30 -
Rahim Singh was allowed to enter barricade/secured area of
Sector 1, Panchkula where the District Court are located.
18. That in compliance of the directions given by this Hon’ble High
Court vide its order dated 26.08.2017 in which direction were
given to ascertain the complicity of 5 persons in instigating and
inciting the crowd to violence was mentioned in the newspaper
report published in the Chandigarh Bhaskar dated 26.08.2017, an
Action Taken Report was called from Commissioner of Police,
Panchkula. The news item was verified by Assistant
Commissioner of Police, Panchkula from the concerned press
reporter. Only thereafter a case FIR No.345 dated 27.08.2017
u/s 120-B/121-A/145/ 150/151/152 and 153 IPC has been
registered in Police Station Sector 5 Panchkula against Aditya
Insa and Dhiman insa and others. In this case, the investigation
is going on.
19. That during the course of hearing of the present case on
25.08.2017, this Hon’ble Court observed that it has been
reported by some members of the bar that they have been
informed that the police seems to be running from the places
where the incidence of violence had occurred. They ran away on
the arrival of CAPF. The police officials, if any, responsible for
this should be taken to task. This reporting before this Court was
baseless and without any substance. The State Police alongwith
the CAPF has tackled the situation in highly professional and bold
manner and has been able to control the loss of life and property
to the minimum extent keeping in view the number of violent
dera followers. The same is evident from the fact that the whole
of Panchkula town was sanitized and secured within a period of - 31 -
less than three hours and no single miscreant was left un-
attended to continue with unlawful activities. No untoward
incident was reported in the state since then.
It is pertinent to mention here that in this operation, Director
General of Police, Haryana alongwith Additional Director General
of Police, Law & Order personally and many other top rank
officers actively participated alongwith the police force. Further,
in the entire operation, the police authorities used force as per
the need of situation for the safety and security of general public,
their property and of the court offices especially the court
complex in which accused was appearing and effectively curbed
the violence in a very short span of time.
It shall further be pertinent to mention here that not even a
single case of any injury to or loss of life of any resident of
Panchkula has been reported so far. In this operation, more than
50 police personnel suffered injuries simple as well as grievous in
nature. However, in this regard, if someone has any credible
input, it can be shared with the police authorities and if any of
the police official is found guilty of dereliction of duty, the same
shall be sternly dealt with.
20. That to deal with the situation in a case as the present one,
Hon’ble Supreme Court has given certain directions after
examining the nature and scope of implementation of prohibitory
orders in the matter of “Inre : Ramlila Maidan Incident dated
4/5.06.2011 Versus Home Secretary, Union of India and others,
(2015) 5 SCC 1.”. Theses directions are required to be followed
by the authorities in such like cases. The authorities at Panchkula
have strictly followed those directions while dealing with the - 32 -
crowd of Dera followers assembled at Panchkula. The authorities
had taken their decision on proper assessment of the situation
and bonafide.
21. That so far as the directions given by this Hon’ble Court vide its
order dated 26.08.2017 with regard to submission of future plan
and strategy for preventing this kind of incidents of violence in
future and whether such planning includes complete sanitization
of Dera Sachha Sauda is concerned, at this moment, the police
department is occupied with the operational preparedness to
maintain law and order and peace in the entire state on a fall out
of the verdict on 25.08.2017 and the order of quantum of
punishment on 28.07.2017. It is respectfully submitted that
some more time may kindly be granted so that a meaningful
future plan and strategy for preventing this kind of incidents of
violence in future be presented before the Hon’ble Court.
However, it is further submitted that sanitization of various
premises connected with Dera Sacha Sauda across the state is
being done. As on 27/08/2017, 103 “Naam Charcha Ghar” have
been sanitized in the state.
22. That so far as the details of the persons killed in the incident is
concerned, it is submitted that 39 persons have died so far in the
State in the violent incidents erupted after the pronouncement of
judgment by the Special CBI Court at Panchkula. Out of them, 33
persons have died in Panchkula and 6 persons have died in Sirsa.
Out of these 39 persons died, 34 have been identified so far (28
in Panchkula and all 6 in Sirsa). Efforts to identify remaining
deceased are being made. 34 dead bodies (20 from Haryana, 12
of Punjab, 1 belonging to Rajasthan and 1 from Uttarakhand) - 33 -
have been handed over so far to their Next kin.
