RAPE CASE TOOK 15 YEARS TO DECLARE RESULT
  


After the tumult-causing rape conviction of self-styled godman Gurmeet Ram Rahim, a special CBI court ruled on how the Dera Sacha Sauda leader is to be punished. The minimum sentence for a rape conviction was three years in jail but it isn't uncommon to be handed a much longer period of incarceration. The case itself took a long 15 years to resolve


This is what the story says:
APRIL 2002: PM Atal Bihari Vajpayee receives an unavowed letter from Dera Sadhvi (follower) stating that she was raped by Gurmeet Ram Rahim.
May 2002: Punjab and Haryana high court directs Sirsa districts and session judges o prove the allegation in the letter.
September 2002: High Court hands matter to CBI after district court indicates possibility of sexual exploitation.
December 2002:  CBI registers a case of rape and criminal intimidation against Gurmeet Ram Rahim
July 2002: CBI files charge sheet against the Dera head in an Ambala court. The charge sheet refers to the sexual exploitation of two 'sadhvis' between 1999 and 2001.
September 2008: The special CBI court frames charges against Gurmeet under sections 376 (rape) and 506 (criminal intimidation) of the IPC.
Between 2009 and 2010: Two complainants record their statements before the court.
April 2011: The special CBI court moved from Ambala to Panchkula. The case against the Dera chief also transferred to the Panchkula CBI court.
August 17, 2017: Arguments of prosecution and defense conclude. Special CBI Judge Jagdeep Singh fixes August 25 as date for announcing the verdict. Gurmeet Ram Rahim asked to appear in person before the court on that day.
August 25, 2017: The special CBI court convicts Gurmeet Ram Rahim and takes him into judicial custody. The conviction is protested with large-scale violence, arson and looting by Dera chief's followers in Haryana and Punjab, resulting in the deaths of 38 people. Ram Rahim is lodged in a Rohtak district jail.

According to one story (and there are more than one), Parvati, his mother, wanted someone to prevent people f
