Vipassana will be quizzed about Panchkula violence and the Sirsa meeting held on August 17 in which a blueprint for the violence was allegedly prepared.
Dera Sacha Sauda Management Committee chairperson Vipassana Insan will appear for questioning before the Panchkula Police today.
The Panchkula Police had summoned Vipassana to appear for questioning after it failed to extract information about Honeypreet's missing laptop and secret diary of Honeypreet Insan.
Vipassana has been asked to be present for questioning at Panchkula's sector 23 police station, where Honeypreet spent nine nights in lock up. Both Honeypreet and Vipassana were questioned at the Sector 23 police station on Friday.
According to sources in the police department, cops will now grill the Dera management committee chairperson as many questions still remain unanswered in spite of probing Gurmeet Ram Rahim's 'adopted' daughter Honeypreet.
While the main focus of the questioning will be the August 25 violence in Panchkula and the pending sedition case, cops will also question Vipassana about the laptop and secret diary which were handed over to her by Honeypreet a day after the violence.
Police is also likely to question Vipassana about the benami land deals and properties owned by Dera and its functionaries including Gurmeet Ram Rahim and Honeypreet.
Apart from these, Vipassana will be quizzed about the August 17 Sirsa meeting in which a blueprint for August 25 Panchkula violence was allegedly prepared. The meeting was chaired by Honeypreet in presence of other Dera functionaries.
Honeypreet had told the police that Vipassana had also participated in the meeting. However, the Dera management committee chairperson denied the allegations on Friday.
The two top Dera functionaries, who weeped on seeing each other at the jail premises, also had a verbal duel on the issue of missing laptop, diary and the August 17 Sirsa meeting.
