New Delhi, Sep 26 (IBNS): The Delhi High Court has turned down the anticipatory bail plea of a suspected accomplice of arrested Dera Sacha Sauda chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh, Honeypreet Insan, who is charged for helping the Dera chief to escape and playing a role in the spiraling violence in Panchkula and Sirsa after the arrest of the godman in rape cases, media reports said.

The court has directed Honeypreet's lawyer to ask his client to surrender before the court.

Honeypreet Insan aka Priyanka Taneja's lawyer has pleaded for a trasit anticipatory bail for three weeks before the court. Honeypreet was projected as the adopted daughter of Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh.

The bail plea by Honeypreet's lawyer revealed that Gurmeet's adopted daughter is in Greater Kailash area of South Delhi.

Honeypreet is also accused of conspiring the violence which occurred in Panchkula and Sirsa, immediately after Gurmeet's conviction, that killed 30 odd people.

A lookout notice has been issued for Honeypreet Insan by Haryana Police on September 1.

Honeypreet is the "adopted daughter" of the convicted chief, who was sentenced to 20 years imprisonment after he was found guilty of raping two of his female followers.

The Dera chief also broke down during the verdict and urged the judge to lighten his sentence, but was eventually granted 20 years, 10 years each for sexually exploiting two females.

In addition, the judge also ordered the dera chief to pay Rs 15 lakh compensation each to both the victims.
