New Delhi, Sept 26: Haryana Police today raided a Greater Kailash II residence of Honeypreet Insan in South Delhi, in a bid to arrest her, who was accused of inciting violence in Sirsa, after Dera Sacha Sauda chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh was convicted in two rape cases on August 25. Panchkula police with arrest warrant raided Honeypreet's GK residence, however, police failed to locate her as she was missing from her apartment. The police team has began raiding several locations in New Delhi. The move comes a day after Honeypreet, whose real name is Priyanka Taneja, moved the Delhi High Court, seeking anticipatory transit bail. A court in Panchkula had yesterday issued arrest warrants against Honeypreet, Aditya Insan and Pawan Insan. They were booked by Haryana Police on charges of sedition, inciting violence and for their involvement in the conspiracy to help the Dera chief escape after his conviction by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) court in August. Haryana Police had sounded an international alert against the trio. Honeypreet, in her mid-30s, has been the closest aide of Ram Rahim since 2009. Police is on her trail for nearly a month and raids have been conducted in Nepal, Rajasthan, Bihar and Haryana. The woman, who used to claim that she was Ram Rahim's "adopted daughter", starred as the main female lead in five films he directed, produced and acted in, in three years. Her former husband Vishwas Gupta had also accused her and Ram Rahim of having illicit relations and said that their father-daughter relationship was a sham to fool his followers. Ram Rahim has been sentenced to 20 years of rigorous imprisonment and a fine of over Rs 30 lakh in two rape cases of 1999. His conviction led to violence in Panchkula and Sirsa in Haryana, leaving 38 people dead and 264 injured. Isolated incidents of violence were also reported from Delhi and several other places in Punjab. UNI
