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.
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.
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.
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.
