In Haryana, the Dera has a significant number of followers across multiple districts, such as Sirsa, Fatehabad, Kurukshetra, Kaithal, and Hisar.
The Dera Sacha Sauda chief, along with four others, was convicted for hatching a conspiracy to kill Ranjit Singh, a Dera manager. Ram Rahim and three more were also convicted in 2019 for the murder of a journalist more than 16 years ago.
