CHANDIGARH:
Gobind Singh, a former driver of Dera Sirsa chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim
has moved an application in the Punjab and Haryana High Court
withdrawing his earlier statement that the Dera head was behind the
conspiracy of murdering former Dera manager Faqir Chand. In his
application, Gobind Singh alleged that Khatta Singh, also a former
driver of the Dera chief, had pressured him to give a false
statement against Gurmeet Ram Rahim.
The CBI on the
directions of the High Court is inquiring into the murder of Faqir
Chand. The petitioner had sought a CBI probe on the basis of the
confession of Gobind Singh. However,Gobind Singh has taken a U-turn
and stated in his application that his mental condition was not
sound when he had levelled allegations that the Dera head was behind
the conspiracy to murder Faqir Chand. The High Court has posted the
matter for July 24 and directed the CBI to file the status report.
