they wanted to kill Sirsa head

 PATIALA:
Away from the
national limelight, the Punjab Police continues to work in its own
perculiar non-transparent ways. Now the cops in
Patiala
have claimed that they have arrested three persons, including a
woman, for their alleged involvement in a fresh conspiracy to
eliminate Sirsa-based dera head Gurmeet Ram Rahim in a human-bomb
attack. Incidentally, the self-syled godman is himself a prime
accused in a CBI-investigated series of rape and murder cases.
The cops claimed
that the three were in contact with Bakshish Singh, someone it
alleges as being the main mind behind an earlier bomb attack on the
Dera head near Nilokheri in Haryana in February this year. Bakshish
is still not in police net. The three arrested now are Bagicha Singh
of Ratta Khera village in Haryana, Amarjit Singh, a resident of
Marori village; and Gobind Kaur, a resident of Gherao village.
Patiala SSP S.K.
Asthana claimed cops got a lead from an informer. Stories of crime
detection Punjab are often a mix of some fact, lots of fiction and
case after case over the years has left the police's credibility
very low even in the eyes of the courts. Civil society activists
little believe the police tales now. Police said Bakshish and
Amarjit Singh had even become followers of Sirsa dera to penetrate
the security.
