A day after Haryana Police included jailed Dera Sacha Sauda chief’s adopted daughter Honeypreet Insan in its most wanted list for violence in Panchkula, she was on Tuesday booked for allegedly inciting violence following the conviction of Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh on 25 August.

Honeypreet’s name has been added as an accused in the first information report number 345 filed at Sector 5 police station in Panchkula in connection with the violence in which 32 persons were killed and over 250 injured. The violence broke out after the self-styled godman was convicted in the rape case.

Panchkula Police Commissioner AS Chawla said Honeypreet “is an accused in the case now,”. The list of accused in the case includes several key functionaries of the Sirsa-based dera including its spokespersons Aditya Insan and Surinder Dhiman. They have been booked for allegedly inciting violence and arson, police said.

Meanwhile, the director general of police (DGP), Haryana, BS Sandhu said efforts are on to nab Honeypreet who is absconding ever since last seen outside the Rohtak jail where Gurmeet is jailed since 25 August. On reports that Honeypreet has been sighted in Nepal, the DGP said there was no concrete information in this regard. “We are verifying each and every information, which we are getting,” he said adding that the state police was also in touch with several states in order to track Honeypreet.

The police also questioning arrested Dera functionaries including Dilawar Insan and Pradeep Goyal to get concrete information about her place of hiding. Dilawar Insan, a key member of the Dera was arrested from Sonipat while Pradeep, another Dera functionary was nabbed from Udaipur in Rajasthan by Haryana Police.

On Monday, the special investigation team of Haryana Police questioned Dera Sacha Saudas spokesperson Vipassana Insan in Sirsa about the whereabouts of Honeypreet. Police initiated efforts to trace Honeypreet following the questioning of another arrested functionary of the sect Surinder Dhiman Insan in connection with an alleged conspiracy to facilitate Dera chiefs escape after he was convicted for raping two disciples.

An FIR was earlier lodged in Panchkula police station following a statement by a newspaper reporter against Aditya and Surinder Dhiman Insaan. The duo were booked for sedition.Due to her closeness to the dera chief, Honeypreet – who is in her mid-30s and is one of the adopted daughters of the Gurmeet, Honeypreet’s closeness to the Dera chief can be gauged from the fact that she had accompanied him to the Special CBI court in Panchkula for the pronouncement of verdict in the 15-year-old rape case on 25 August.
