"Sach Kahoon" claims that human remains were buried inside Dera's Sirsa headquarters

Even before the start of official seach operation by security agencies inside the Dera Sacha Sauda headquarters near Sirsa town in Haryana, the dera mouthpiece "Sach Kahoon" on Thursday admitted that human remains were buried inside the premises.

The Dera newspaper, while defending the action of the Dera management in burying the human remains, said this was done as sect chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh encouraged followers to donate the remains to the sect for burial and prevent these from being immersed in rivers, causing pollution.

The newspaper claimed that the human remains were buried within the campus and trees were planted on these.Some persons, who were earlier associated with the sect but left it later, have alleged that the sect chief got killed those who opposed his activities and got them buried inside the 70-acre campus of the sect.

Ram Rahim was convicted on two counts of rape of two female disciples in 1999 by a CBI Special Court in Panchkula on August 25. He was recently sentenced to 20 years of life imprisonment and is currently held in the District Jail at Sunaria near Rohtak.It provoked violence in Panchkula and Sirsa, resulting in death of 38 people and 264 injured. Incidents of violence were also reported from Delhi and several other places in Punjab.

Security was tightened around the Dera headquarters near Sirsa town on Wednesday following the approval granted by the Punjab and Haryana High Court to the state government to search and sanitise the premises. The search, to be supervised by a court commissioner, is likely to begin on Friday.

Retired District and Sessions Judge A.K.S. Pawar, who was appointed as the Court Commissioner by the High Court on Tuesday to oversee the search and sanitisation operation of the Dera premises, arrived in Sirsa on Thursday.

Armed security personnel from central paramilitary forces and the Haryana Police were stationed outside the Dera premises. Bomb disposal squads and dog squads have also been stationed near the Dera premises.

Gauri Lankesh - renowned journalist shot dead in bangalore at her house

55 years old Journalist-turned-activist Gauri Lankesh was shot dead by three men on bike outside her residence in Rajarajeshwarinagar, West Bengaluru on Tuesday night.

Reports say that three men on a motor bike opened at least seven rounds of fire on Gauri when she was opening the main door of her house. Gauri's head, neck, and chest received three bullets while rest of the four hit the walls. Police declared that she died instantly on the spot.

According to neighbours, Gauri was returning from her office when the murder took place. 

"Usually, she would drive back home late night. At around 8pm today, we heard gun shots and rushed out. For a few minutes, we could not understand what had happened. Then we realized that Gauri had been shot at and saw her lying in a pool of blood near the door," neighbours said.

Senior police officials including city police commissioner T Suneel Kumar rushed to the spot and said that three special teams will be formed to nab the assailants.

New poster of Kedarnath starring Sushant Singh Rajput and Sara Ali Khan

Kedarnath, a love story set against the holy temple town of Kedarnath, stars Sara Ali Khan and Sushant Singh Rajput in the lead role. Director Abhishek Kapoor annonuced the start of the movie on september 5.

 

To make the occasion special, the makers have released the poster of the film which just like the previously released motion poster is spiritual in nature. From the Trishul, an idol of Lord Shiva to the shrine of Kedarnath and the majestic Himalayas, the poster is painted in the shades of blue as it is the colour used to depict Shiva in Hindu mythology. The tagline of the movie, "Love is a pilgrimage" still intrigues us and we wonder what's going to follow.

Well, that too will be revealed on Tuesday as the lead actor Sushant promises to release the first look of the Abhishek Kapoor directorial at 10 pm. Sharing the poster on Instagram, the actor wrote, "We will be launching the first look of Kedarnath tonight at 10 pm. PFB the copies for Sushant." However, on Twitter, the Raabta actor described the film as, "A journey of faith…and love."

In the poster, we see the silhouette of a man kissing the forehead of a woman and presumably the man and the woman are the leads of the film Sushant and Sara. Also, there is a pitthu, a person who carries pilgrims on his shoulders  standing at the brim of  destruction which hit Kedarnath back in 2013. If reports are to be believed Sushant Singh plays a pitthu in the movie and Sara is a pilgrim stuck amidst the floods.
