When crowd cheered for Ram Rahim, Honeypreet in Odisha

Bhubaneswar: While Haryana police launched manhunt to nab elusive Honeypreet Insan, actress and adopted daughter of self-styled godman Gurmeet Ram Rahim, the lookalikes duo were spotted during idol immersion ceremony of goddess Durga here.

Entire crowd danced to the tune of songs performed by two artists, portrayed as Dera Sacha Sauda chief Ram Rahim and papa’s angel Honeypreet at Janpath.

It could sound weird, but many puzzled to find the duo in attire of two controversial characters — one is rape convict and another is absconding — during the event.

Honeypreet, a most wanted woman by Haryana police, is charged for provoking riots in August after Ram Rahim’s rape conviction. She has been on the run since August 25 when Ram Rahim was convicted for rape of two Ashram inmates.

Ram Rahim is currently lodged in Rohtak jail in a 15-year-old sexual exploitation case.
