Court commissioner to send report on findings

The three-day mammoth exercise to carry out “sanitisation” of the sprawling Dera Sacha Sauda sect headquarters premises here ended on Sunday evening, officials said.

Security forces and various government departments had launched a coordinated effort to carry out the exercise on September 8.

“Various teams engaged in this operation have submitted their report to the court commissioner, who will now submit his report to the Punjab and Haryana High Court,” an official said.

A member of the State body of the Dera had been arrested for allegedly inciting violence on August 25 in Panchkula. Meanwhile, efforts continued to trace Dera chief’s adopted daughter Honeypreet Insan, against whom a lookout notice was issued earlier.

Searh on for functionary

Panchkula Police Commissioner A.S. Chawla said the police were also looking for another key functionary Aditya Insan.

“We are at the job and hopeful of nabbing them soon,” he said. “We are conducting raids at various places and our teams have gone to different areas to trace them.” Mr. Chawla said the police needs to question Honeypreet regarding the disclosures made by some of the arrested persons.
