Indian guru gets life in jail for murdering woman devotees

Share
This is the second life term given to Rampal and his 13 followers in the past 24 hours. They were sentenced to life imprisonment Tuesday also for killing four women and a baby that year.
The two cases dated back to November 2014, when the five women and the baby suffocated after being locked in a room while Rampal's supporters clashed with police at his ashram (monastery).
Policemen had then barged into Rampal’s ashram on the orders of the high court of Punjab and Haryana states after he repeatedly failed to appear in a court in another murder case.
Rampal was arrested by police and charged with murder, conspiracy, possessing illegal weapons, abetting suicide and waging war against the state. He is currently in jail.
