According to a recent development, self-styled godman Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh was rushed to PGIMS Rohtak on Thursday after he complained of abdominal pain. The jailed Dera Sacha Sauda chief was taken back to the Sunaria jail after a CT scan examination. Primary treatment was also administered to the godman at the hospital. 

Last Friday, a one-day parole was granted to Singh to meet his ailing mother Naseeb Kaur. The parole was approved after the Haryana Police granted a No Objection Certificate (NoC) to the prison officials. He was taken out of the Sunaria jail, where he is currently lodged, with the help of a tight security cover.

In October as well, a one-day parole was granted to the controversial godman as he wanted to see his sick mother.
