Computers of
Dera Sacha Sauda were tampered with and hard disks removed or altered
before the sect’s headquarters at Sirsa were searched under the
supervision of a court commissioner appointed by the Punjab and Haryana
High Court.
The
Sirsa police seized 60 such hard disks on the information provided by
Vineet Kumar, the dera’s IT head, who was arrested today. While
accompanying the search teams earlier, he had been evasive in his
replies, rousing suspicion. He was summoned by the police for
questioning on Monday.
“During
interrogation, he spilled the beans, confessing that the dera
authorities had changed several hard disks before the search operation. A
bag containing 60 such disks was found on the basis of inputs provided
by him,” said a senior police officer.
The
police also arrested the driver of the Lexus SUV car belonging to the
dera that was torched near Phoolkan village on the evening of August 28,
the day dera chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh was sentenced to 20 years’
imprisonment for rape.
