Ravinder Singh Dhull Vs. State of Haryana was listed in this

- 7 -

when this Hon’ble Court directed that Central Government shall

provide adequate security and force to the State Government for

maintaining peace and Law & Order in Panchkula and its

surrounding areas forthwith. The Central Government was

directed to make its own assessment in this regard. State of

Haryana was also directed to provide its own assessment and

requirement of para-military forces as may be required from time

to time.

This Hon’ble Court also directed for making necessary

arrangements for providing protection to the witnesses in the

case, Public Prosecutor in the trial of the case as also the Public

Prosecutor in the Hon’ble High Court.

Accordingly, Commissioner of Police, Panchkula was instructed

vide letter No.16864-68/OPS-3 dated 24.08.2017 to make

necessary arrangements if not already made for providing

adequate protection to CBI Judge, Panchkula, witnesses, Public

said case as also the Public Prosecutor in the Hon’ble High Court

for strict compliance.

9. That the matter was again heard upon by the Hon’ble High Court

in post lunch session on 24.08.2017 itself where Court passed

following directions:

“….the Central Government is directed to provide

additional forces during the intervening night

today itself and before down tomorrow.

The State Government shall ensure that peace

and law and order is strictly maintained and those

- 8 -

who are found to be violating the law are dealt

with sternly. This direction shall not only be

applicable in case of Panchkula but also in other

parts of the State of Haryana, Punjab and UT and

more particularly also in Sirsa districts of State of

Haryana. The State and district police shall act

firmly to ensure that the persons who have

gathered at Panchkula would return. Besides,

prevent and ensure that crowd does not further

swell.…”

Pursuant to the same, Central Government allotted 40

Coys of CAPF in addition to already allotted 53 Coys which

were further allotted to various districts especially Panchkula

and Sirsa. Efforts were made to ensure that persons who have

gathered at Panchkula should return and as a result of efforts,

the people could be evacuated from Sector-1 to 21 of

Panchkula except in a Park in Sector-5 Panchkula and some

crowd in Naam Charcha Ghar in Sector-23, Panchkula.

However, it was not possible to evacuate them beyond the

jurisdiction of Police Commissionerate Panchkula without use

of force which could have resulted into very serious and highly

violent situation and as a result thereof Gurmeet Ram Rahim

Singh would not have appeared before the Special CBI Court,

Panchkula. 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

- 9 -

private properties in district Sirsa and other areas of his

strong hold in Punjab, Rajasthan, Delhi and Chandigarh.

10. That the Hon’ble Court further directed on 25.08.2017 itself that

firmly by use of force, if necessary;

(iii) the police force and CAPF would have free-hand

to deal with the situation wherever and whenever

required against any individual or any section of the

society or organization;

(iv) in case of need, the Army shall be deployed and

made operational.

(v) the police force shall make arrangements

forthwith for capturing every moment of untoward

situation through video-graphy by using video-

cameras. Those who are indulging in any kind of

violence, arson or breach of peace etc shall be

video-graphed and an FIR shall be registered

against him/them;

(vi) In case any politician or anybody else including

Ministers interferes in the enforcement of law, FIR

be registered against him/them. In case of failure

on the part of the police officer to register an FIR,

similar action would be called against him;

- 10 -

(vii) No politician, leader, social-worker, spiritual

leader, religious leader or any such organization

shall make any provocative speech or statement,

which may have the tendency to affect public

order….”

conveyed to all the concerned for strict compliance vide letter

No.17034-70/OPS-3 dated 25.08.2017 for their strict

compliance.

Court, when court’s proceedings were going on in the matter, in

the meantime, immediately after getting the news of conviction

of Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh by the Special CBI Court,

Panchkula some of his followers who had gathered went berserk

and started attacking media vans, public property and the

security forces with a view to get him released from the police

custody and to vent their anger against the judgment. They burnt

/ damaged private and public properties and attacked some

security personnel with an intention to kill them. Several clashes

between security forces and violent Dera followers took place at

many places. Army was called in to assist the Civil Authorities in

maintaining Law and Order. All the security forces handled the

situation in highly professional manner and used appropriate

force as warranted use of including tear gas shells, lathi charge

etc. Firing had to be resorted at some places as a last resort

when the violent Dera followers armed with sharp edged

weapons, petrol bombs, lathis etc and fire arms tried to kill the

- 11 -

security personnel. The security forces were able to control the

situation within duration of only three hours and secured

Panchkula city from the violent Dera followers. Senior officers

including the DGP, ADGP, (L&O), IsG, DIsG and a number of SP

rank officers personally commanded the entire operation on the

ground. The law and order situations were also created in Sirsa,

Kaithal, Jind, Panipat, Bhiwani, Fatehabad and Karnal but the

security forces remained in tight grip of the situation and

maintained law and order in highly professional manner. No

untoward incident was reported in the state after evening of 25th

August 2018.

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)
