Lookout notice against Dera chief’s ‘adopted daughter’ Honeypreet for inciting violence, attempting to free Ram Rahim

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The Haryana government is also looking into how Honeypreet was allowed to board the chopper in which Ram Rahim was taken to the Rohtak jail

The Haryana police, on Friday, issued a lookout notice against Honeypreet ‘Insan’, the ‘adopted daughter’ of jailed Dera Sacha Sauda chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh. According to reports, the police have issued an alert for Honeypreet at the airports and all other exit points.

Honeypreet is charged with sedition for allegedly instigating the violence that was unleashed by Dera followers across Haryana, Punjab, Delhi and Rajasthan last Friday when a special CBI court in Haryana’s Panchkula town convicted Gurmeet Ram Rahim on the charge of raping two of his followers in 2002. Honeypreet is also accused of attempting to free the Dera chief after the conviction.

Besides Honeypreet, who was a constant companion of Gurmeet Ram Rahim right until his 20-year jail term was announced on Monday this week, a lookout circular has also been issued for key Dera functionary Aditya Insan. Aditya has also been charged with inciting Dera followers to resort to violence after Gurmeet Ram Rahim’s conviction.

The riots caused by Dera followers had led to the death of 38 people – all in Haryana – while property worth several crores of rupees was gutted in four states – Haryana, Punjab, Delhi and Rajasthan – where the Dera Sacha Sauda enjoys a formidable mass support.

There are conflicting reports on Honeypreet’s present location. Some reports say she is living in the house of a Dera follower in Rohtak while others say that she has gone into hiding.

The police believe that Honeypreet and Aditya had together plotted the escape of Gurmeet Ram Rahim after his conviction. Earlier this week, a senior police official who was part of the security cordon that took Gurmeet Ram Rahim to the Sunaria jail in Rohtak after his conviction had given a detailed description of the failed plot for the Dera chief’s escape. The police official had said that soon after his conviction, Gurmeet Ram Rahim had asked one of his armed body guards to fetch a red bag from his car saying his clothes were in it. The bag, the police official said, was a signal for his supporters to resort to violence to create chaos in the area.

The officer also alleged that his armed body guards had gheraoed the Dera chief, preventing him from being taken in a police vehicle. However, after a scuffle with his bodyguards, the police was successful in taking Gurmeet Ram Rahim to the helipad through a different route.

The Dera chief was flown to the Sunaria jail in a chopper and for reasons that are now under investigation by the Haryana government, Honeypreet was allowed to accompany the Dera chief in this helicopter in abject violation of established protocol.

It is learnt that Honeypreet also clashed with the authorities at Sunaria jail, demanding that she be allowed to stay with the rapist godman in jail. Gurmeet Ram Rahim had claimed that Honeypreet was an “acupressure specialist” who would help ease his chronic back pain.

Not much is known about Honeypreet’s past or how she became so involved in the affairs of the rapist godman and his Dera Sacha Sauda but there have been some claims that she is Gurmeet Ram Rahim’s adopted daughter and he depended immensely on her in running his Dera empire.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

The Centre has appointed Lieutenant General Dhiraj Seth as the next Chief of the Army Staff (COAS), paving the way for a leadership transition in the Indian Army later this month. Lt Gen Seth, who currently serves as the Vice Chief of the Army Staff, will succeed General Upendra Dwivedi upon the latter’s retirement on June 30, 2026.

The appointment was announced on Saturday, with the government confirming that Lt Gen Seth will assume office from the afternoon of June 30. He will take over command after General Dwivedi completes his tenure as the Army’s 30th chief.

Veteran Armoured Corps officer

An officer of the Armoured Corps, Lt Gen Seth was commissioned into the Indian Army in December 1986 after graduating from the National Defence Academy. Over nearly four decades of service, he has held a range of operational, command, staff and strategic appointments across the Army.

Leadership transition in the Army

Lt Gen Seth’s elevation comes as the Army prepares for a change of command at the highest level. His appointment follows his move to Army Headquarters as Vice Chief earlier this year, a role he assumed on April 1.

The Ministry of Defence said the incoming Army chief brings extensive experience from command, operational and strategic assignments across diverse military domains.

With the appointment, Lt Gen Seth is set to lead the Indian Army through the next phase of its modernisation and operational preparedness efforts after taking charge at the end of the month.

An Indian Air Force (IAF) AN-32 transport aircraft crashed while attempting to land at Jorhat Air Force Station in Assam on Saturday, resulting in the deaths of five Air Force personnel. The accident occurred during a routine sortie and triggered an emergency response at the airbase.

According to the IAF, the aircraft met with the accident during the landing phase at Jorhat. The force later confirmed the loss of five personnel and expressed condolences to their families. A court of inquiry has been ordered to determine the circumstances that led to the crash.

Court of inquiry ordered

The Indian Air Force said a formal investigation will examine the cause of the accident. Officials have not yet disclosed what may have led to the crash, and the inquiry is expected to review technical, operational and environmental factors.

Reports indicated that the co-pilot survived the accident and is undergoing medical treatment.

Personnel who lost their lives

The IAF identified the five personnel killed in the accident as:

  • Squadron Leader Prashant Singh
  • Flight Lieutenant Shubham Kumar
  • Sergeant Jitendra Sharma
  • Agniveervayu Khemaram Kumawat
  • Agniveervayu Danish Alam

The Air Force said it stands with the bereaved families during this difficult time.

AN-32’s role in the Air Force

The AN-32 is a twin-engine transport aircraft that has been a key part of the Indian Air Force’s logistics operations for decades. It is widely used to transport personnel, equipment and supplies, particularly in remote and high-altitude regions. India remains one of the largest operators of the aircraft type.

The crash comes months after a Sukhoi Su-30MKI fighter aircraft accident in Assam that claimed the lives of two IAF pilots.

Delhi weather today

Delhi witnessed its coolest day of June so far after widespread rain and thunderstorm activity caused temperatures to drop significantly across the national capital. The change in weather provided much-needed relief from the intense summer heat that had gripped the region in recent weeks.

According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), rain and thunderstorms over the past 24 hours brought a noticeable decline in both maximum and minimum temperatures. Official weather observations showed that Delhi’s maximum temperatures fell well below normal levels, while several areas experienced strong winds and rainfall.

More rain and thunderstorms likely

The IMD has forecast additional thunderstorms, light to moderate rain and gusty winds for Delhi and nearby areas through Saturday. A yellow alert remains in place, with weather conditions expected to stay unsettled before gradually improving.

Weather experts have attributed the recent change to the influence of a western disturbance and associated weather systems affecting northwestern India. While the disturbance is gradually moving away, its impact is expected to continue for a short period.

Temperatures may rise again next week

Meteorologists expect the pleasant conditions to last for another couple of days. After that, temperatures are likely to begin rising again as rainfall activity decreases. The IMD’s latest forecast also indicates a gradual increase in temperatures by the middle of next week.

Recent weather systems have brought relief not only to Delhi but also to parts of Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and other northern states, where thunderstorms and rain have helped ease heatwave conditions.
