Dera Violence: Olympic Gold medalist Inspector who fought alone against Ram Rahim's goons
Amidst violence which erupted in the areas of Haryana, Punjab and Delhi NCR due to controversial spiritual leader Gurmeet Ram Rahim rape case, there is a wrestler-turned-inspector Anil Kumar who displayed his courage from the front.
According to the Times of India, Kumar who had won a gold medal in men's Greco-Roman 96kg wrestling was the only one who was seen charging at the Dera followers.
While chasing the followers, many personnel from Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB), CRPF and Haryana Police were seen running for saving their lives.
But, Kumar was the only one who was seen dealing alone with the followers. He lashed out at the personnel who were reluctant in taking on the mob.
“Shame on you for backing out like this,” yelled Kumar at SSB personnel.
"People will laugh at us. Give me your weapons, I will take them on alone," added Kumar.
Curfew has been imposed in Sangrur, Moga and Patiala district of Punjab. Security stepped up after violent protests by Dera followers in the state.
Section 144 imposed in Uttarakhand's Nainital and Noida, Ghaziabad and Meerut district of Uttar Pradesh.
Gurmeet Ram Rahim was convicted in the rape case of two women on 25 August. The special CBI court found him guilty of the crime and the verdict led to violence in Haryana and Delhi NCR.
The self-style godman has been taken into the custody and now the question is – who is going to be the successor of Dera properties?
Punjab-Haryana court has given a historic decision to seize the properties of the Dera. But still people are eager to know that who is going to be the next owner of the Dera.
