Today, in the matter of SAINT GURMEET RAM RAHIM SINGH INSAN V/S STATE OF PUNJAB AND ANOTHER, the Punjab and Haryana High Court issued Notice to Punjab Government seeking to quash an FIR lodged against Ram Rahim Singh  fo his alleged remarks against Guru Ravidas and Saint Kabir. He is charged under Section 295A IPC (Deliberate and malicious acts, intended to outrage religious feelings of any class by insulting its religion or religious beliefs) 

An FIR was lodged by Jassi Talhan, the president of Guru Ravidas Tiger Force. It was alleged that 'Insan', in a video, stated concocted stories about both Guru Ravidas and Saint Kabir in unacceptable and controversial words which hurt the sentiments of the Ravidasia community.

It was further alleged that last month on 5th February, the derogatory comments were made by him in a public address made to his followers and the same was aired on the YouTube platform.

Seeking quashing of the FIR, 'Insan' moved the High Court submitting that the video was part of a sermon delivered by him in the year 2016, and the same was uploaded on a YouTube channel in February 2023 depicting the discourse given by the petitioner in a completely wrong context.

It may be noted that Gurmeet is presently serving a 20-year jail term for raping two women disciples at his ashram in Sirsa.

Back in 2021, He was sentenced to life imprisonment by the CBI Court, Panchkula in the Ranjit Singh murder case.

Earlier in 2019, he was also convicted for the murder of a journalist over 16 years ago.
