Read The Anonymous 2002 Letter That Brought Ram Rahim Singh To Justice!
Read the anonymous 2002 letter that brought Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh to justice. The letter was written by the rape victim addressing to the then Prime Minister of India, Atal Behari Vajpayee.
Gurmeet
Ram
Rahim
Singh
has
been
sentenced
to
10
years
in
prison
by
the
CBI
Court
for
raping
two
of
his
women
followers
in
2002
and
has
been
slapped
with
a
fine
of
Rs
65,000.
It
took
15
years
for
the
law
to
catch
up
with
this
self-styled
flamboyant
Godman
who
enjoyed
a
larger
than
life
persona
in
Sirsa
district,
Haryana.
The
case
began
when
the
then
Prime
Minister
of
India,
Atal
Behari
Vajpayee
received
an
anonymous
letter
by
the
rape
victim
in
2002
and
below
is
the
translation
of
the
whole
letter
in
English.
The
original
letter
was
in
Hindi
and
the
victim
has
poured
her
pain
out
and
revealed
the
horrors
she
and
other
women
suffered
in
the
hands
of
Ram
Rahim
Singh.
Shri
Atal
Behari
Vajpayee,
Prime
Minister
New
Delhi
I
am
a
girl
hailing
from
Punjab
State.
I
have
been
serving
as
a
'Sadhwi'
in
'Dera
Sacha
Sauda',
Sirsa
(Haryana)
for
the
last
five
years.
Beside
me,
there
are
hundreds
of
others
girl
here,
who
serve
for
18
hours
daily.
But
we
are
sexually
exploited
here.
The
'Dera
Maharaj'
Gurmeet
Singh
rapes
the
girls
in
the
'dera'.
I
am
a
graduate.
My
family
has
blind
faith
in
the
'Maharaj'
(Gurmeet
Singh).
It
was
at
my
family's
bidding
that
I
became
a
'Sadhwi'.
Two
years
after
I
became
a
'Sadhwi',
a
special
woman-disciple
of
Maharaj
Gurmeet
Singh
came
to
me
one
night
at
10'
o'
clock
and
said
that
the
Maharaj
had
summoned
me
to
his
room.
I
felt
elated
that
Maharaj
himself
sent
for
me.
I
was
going
to
him
for
the
first
time.
After
climbing
the
stairs,
when
I
went
into
his
room,
I
saw
that
he
was
holding
a
remote
in
his
hand
and
was
watching
a
blue
film
on
the
TV.
Beside
his
pillow
on
the
bed,
lay
a
revolver.
Seeing
all
this,
I
was
frightened
and
became
nervous.
I
had
never
imagined
that
Maharaj
was
a
man
of
this
type.
Maharaj
switched
off
the
TV
and
seated
me
beside
him.
He
offered
me
water
and
said
that
he
had
called
me
because
he
considered
me
very
close
to
him.
This
was
my
first
experience.

VERDICT
!
|
FilmiBeat
Maharaj
took
me
in
his
embrace
and
said
that
he
loved
me
from
the
core
of
his
heart.
He
also
said
that
he
wanted
to
make
love
with
me.
He
told
me
that
at
the
time
of
becoming
his
disciple,
I
had
dedicated
my
wealth,
body
and
soul
to
him
and
he
had
accepted
my
offering.
When
I
objected,
he
said,
"There
is
no
doubt
that
I
am
God."
When
I
asked
if
God
also
indulges
in
such
acts,
he
shot
back:
1.
Sri
Krishna
too
was
God
and
he
had
360
'gopis'
(milkmaids)
with
whom
he
enacted
'Prem
lila'
(love
drama).
Even
then
people
regarded
him
as
God.
So,
there
is
nothing
to
be
surprised
at
it.
2.
I
can
kill
you
with
this
revolver
and
bury
you
here.
The
members
of
your
family
are
my
devoted
followers
and
they
have
blind
faith
in
me.
You
know
it
very
well
that
members
of
your
family
cannot
go
against
me.
3.
I
have
considerable
influence
with
governments
also.
Chief
Ministers
of
Punjab
and
Haryana
and
central
Ministers
come
to
pay
obeisance
to
me.
Politicians
take
help
from
us.
They
cannot
take
any
action
against
me.
We
will
get
the
members
of
your
family
dismissed
from
govt.
jobs
and
I
will
get
them
killed
by
my
'Sewadars'
(servants).
We
will
leave
no
evidence
of
their
murder.
You
know
that
earlier
also
we
got
the
'dera' Manager
Fakir
Chand
killed
by
goondas.
His
murder
remains
untraced
till
this
day.
The
'dera'
has
a
daily
income
of
one
crore
rupees
with
which
we
can
buy
leaders,
police
and
the
judges.
After
this,
the
Maharaj
raped
me.
The
Maharaj
has
been
doing
this
with
me
for
the
last
three
years.
My
turn
comes
after
every
25-30
days.
Now
I
have
learnt
that
before
me
too,
the
Maharaj
had
been
raping
the
girls
he
had
summoned.
Most
of
these
women
are
now
35
to
40
years
old
and
they
are
past
the
age
of
marriage.
They
have
no
other
option
but
to
remain
in
the
'dera'.
Most
of
the
girls
are
educated
-
B.A.,
M.A.,
B.Ed,
etc.
But
they
are
living
a
life
of
hell
in
the
'dera',
simply
because
the
members
of
their
families
have
blind
faith
in
the
Maharaj.
We
wear
white
clothes,
tie
a
scarf
on
the
head,
cannot
even
look
at
men
and
as
per
Maharaj's
commands,
and
talk
with
men
from
a
distance
of
5-10
feet.
To
the
people
we
look
like
'devis'
(goddesses),
but
we
are
living
like
harlots.
This
time
I
tried
to
tell
my
family
that
all
was
not
well
at
the
'dera'.
But
they
rebuked
me
saying
that
there
was
no
better
place
than
the
'dera'
for
here
they
were
in
the
company
of
God
(Maharaj).
They
said
that
I
had
formed
a
bad
notion
about
the
'dera'
and
that
I
should
recite
the
name
of
'Satguru'.
I
am
helpless
here
because
I
have
to
obey
every
command
of
the
Maharaj.
No
girl
is
permitted
to
talk
with
another,
according
to
the
commands
of
the
Maharaj.
Girls
are
not
permitted
to
talk
to
their
families
even
on
the
telephone.
If
any
girl
talks
about
the
reality
of
the
'dera',
she
is
punished
according
to
Maharaj's
commands.
Sometimes
ago,
a
Bhatinda
girl
revealed
the
wrong
doings
of
the
Maharaj.
At
this,
all
the
women
disciples
gave
her
a
sound
thrashing.
Because
of
a
fracture
in
the
backbone,
she
is
now
bed-ridden.
Her
father
gave
up
the
service
in
the
'dera'
and
went
home.
For
fear
of
the
Maharaj
and
his
own
disgrace,
he
is
not
revealing
anything.
Similarly,
a
Kurukshetra
girl
has
also
left
the
'dera'
and
has
gone
home.
When
she
narrated
the
events
in
the
'dera'
to
her
family,
her
brother
who
worked
in
the
'dera'
gave
up
his
job.
When
a
Sangrur
girl
left
the
'dera',
went
home
and
narrated
the
wrong-doings
in
the
'dera'
to
the
people,
the
dera's
armed
Sewadars/
hooligans
reached
the
girl's
house
and
threatened
to
kill
her
and
warned
her
not
to
leak
anything
about
the
'dera'.
Similarly,
girls
from
Mansa,
Ferozepur,
Patiala
and
Ludhiana
districts
are
afraid
of
revealing
anything
about
the
'dera'.
Although
they
have
left
the
'dera',
yet
they
do
not
say
anything
for
fear
of
loosing
their
lives.
Similarly,
girls
from
Sirsa,
Hissar,
Fatehabad,
Hanuman
Garh
and
Meerut
disclose
as
to
what
happened
to
them
in
the
'dera'.
If
I
reveal
my
name,
I
and
my
family
will
be
killed.
I
want
to
reveal
this
truth
for
the
benefit
of
the
common
man,
because
I
cannot
bear
all
this
tension
and
harassment.
My
life
is
in
danger.
If
a
probe
is
conducted
by
the
press
or
some
government
agency,
40
to
50
girls
living
in
the
'dera'
will
come
forward
to
reveal
the
truth.
We
can
also
be
medically
examined
to
find
out
whether
we
are
still
celibate
disciples
or
not.
If
we
are
no
longer
virgins,
the
matter
should
be
gone
into
to
find
out
who
has
violated
our
chastity.
The
truth
will
then
come
out
that
Maharaj
Gurmeet
Ram
Rahim
Singh
of
'Sacha
Sauda'
has
ruined
our
lives.
Yours
faithfully,
An
innocent
forced
to
live
life
in
a
hell
(Dera
Sacha
Sauda
Sirsa)
