Rohtak: Honeypreet Insan’s former husband Vishwas Gupta claimed that Dera Sacha Sauda chief Baba Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh and Honeypreet had an illicit relationship. According to media reports, Vishwas Gupta, in his hour long dramatic press conference, broke down on several occasions while narrating his ordeal.
Talking about the time he spent at the Dera headquarters where Gurmeet Singh used to live, Vishwas Gupta said, “Ram Rahim made us play a game like Bigg Boss in his cave. We were six couples (family members) and spent 28 days there”. “I was staying at the goofa (cave), private room of Baba ji. My wife was with him. He had inadvertently left the door open. They were naked and were having sex. They were shocked when they saw me. Baba had threatened me not to reveal anything and had said that I will be killed,” Gupta had a leading English daily.
Gupta accused Gurmeet Singh and Honeypreet of ruining his life. “In a very planned manner Gurmeet Singh married me off to Honeypreet to legitimise her stay in his ‘Gufa’ or private residence, we never lived as husband and wife while she remained committed to Gurmeet Singh,’ he said.
“When I found about their illicit affair, I went to High Court and media in 2011, but they messed up my life with fake cases,” Gupta told media.
“I had to face five court cases including dowry harassment and bounced cheques for which I had to spend a fortnight in Patiala jail, where supporters of Gurmeet Singh tried to kill me,’ he added.
Vishwas said that he and his father had to beg the Dera Chief for mercy and the cases were withdrawn only after they appeared in person at the Sirsa dera and tendered an apology in public in front of the followers.
“The Dera Chief took away our properties and money we had invested in the factories set up inside the Dera permises, we lost close to Rs 40 crores to secure our freedom from him,” said Vishwas.
