Singh is lodged in a jail in Haryana’s Rohtak after his 2017 conviction in rape cases.

”He has been granted one-month parole and he came out of the prison on Friday,” a senior police official from Rohtak jail told PTI.

Earlier in February, the Dera chief was granted three weeks’ furlough.

The sect chief is serving a 20-year jail term for raping two women disciples at his ashram in Sirsa, where the dera is headquartered. He was convicted by a special CBI court in Panchkula in August 2017.
