Dera Sacha Sauda worth
In a report which has been released by ML Khattar government submitted to Haryana and Punjab High Court today, Dera Sacha Sauda, the controversial sect run by Ram Rahim has been valued at Rs 1,453 crore.
This is in Sirsa, where the Dera headquarters have been situated. The government of Haryana has estimated that Gurmeet Ram Rahim’s organization owns properties worth Rs 1,600 crore across all over the state. The government has an estimate which does not include properties that the Dera owns outside of the state of Haryana. The actual value of properties owned by Ram Rahim Singh’s Dera could be much higher as the government estimate has been drawn up on the basis of Haryana’s collector rates.
The Dera’s properties are worth billions of rupees and income per day is no less than Rs 16, 44,833 and the cult’s annual income is over Rs 60 crore — Rs 60,03,64,104 to be precise, reports Jansatta.
According to an income tax data cited by the report, in 2010-11 Dera’s income was Rs 165,248,455 and in the year 2011-12, it grew to Rs 202,099,999. Moreover, in the 2012-13 year, it was at Rs 290,818,760.
The value of the Dera properties could be more than 1.5 times the figure that the government has arrived at.
Will dera pay for the violence?
The government of Haryana report comes in response to Punjab and Haryana High Court indicating, ‘Dera Sacha Sauda could be made to pay for all the losses suffered in the violence which was followed by Gurmeet Singh’s conviction on two counts of rape.’
A total of 35 people died in the violence as Ram Rahim’s followers resorted to arson and clashed with the security forces after the godman of the Sirsa city was pronounced guilty. As soon as the verdict was pronounced by the special CBI court, supporters of Ram Rahim went on a rampage at Panchkula, 10 km from Chandigarh.
Punjab and the Haryana state High Court indicated that all the losses which have been caused to the property could be recovered from Dera Sacha Sauda. It was after a Panchkula resident had filed a PIL raising law and order concerns after which the court had ordered, “in the case people indulge in causing loss to properties, all the process will be video graphed and the total loss which have been made will be recovered from the Dera.”
