Two weeks since Gurmeet Ram Rahim has been lodged at Rohtak jail, convicted for the rape of two of his female followers, jail authorities did a health check on him on Saturday, India Today reported.
The convict complained of ‘uneasiness and restlessness’ to the doctors conducting his examination.
Sources claim that his symptoms, according to doctors, are a “physical manifestation of withdrawal symptoms” he is suffering from.
The baba is, in fact, a sex addict. He has no access to physical pleasures in the jail which is the cause for his restlessness. He can be treated. However, if the treatment is delayed, it can lead to a bigger problem.Doctor
However, it’s unclear if the rape convict was also addicted to drugs. Reports have suggested that the Dera chief was a consumer of liquor till 1988.
He may not be drinking liquor now, but he regularly consumed energy drinks and sex tonics that were specially imported from Australia and other countries.Gurdas Singh Toor, Former Dera Member
To prove his innocence to court, he claimed to be impotent. In 1990, after taking over as the Dera Chief, he publicly renounced his family and worldly desires.
He is a liar as he was never impotent. His son was a few months old when he became a Dera chief in 1990. He is accused of raping his disciples. When people demanded for his potency test, he retracted his 1990 statement and said he had physical relations with only his wife. He wanted to mislead the court. Why nobody has got his potency test done so far is another loophole.
The convict had requested for his adopted daughter Honeypreet to be allowed to stay with him in the jail premises, stating that she was his physiotherapist. However, he never asked for his biological daughters or his wife to be allowed to be by his side.
