New Delhi, Sept 1 (IBNS): Micro-blogging site Twitter has 'withheld' the account of Dera Sacha Sauda chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh Insan.

A Haryana court on Monday sentenced the self-styled religious leader to 20 years in prison for raping two of his women followers.

He was convicted of rape charges on Aug 25.

Following the conviction, his followers attacked journalists, policemen and destroyed public property and vehicles in Pachkula city on Haryana.

Violence was also reported from other parts of Haryana and other parts of north India.

Amid tight security, the court sentenced the Dera chief on Monday.

His verified Twitter account has been 'withheld' after five days since the sentencing of the court.
