Son of journalist Ram Chander Chhatrapti, in whose 2002 murder case Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh was acquitted, said the family will appeal the Punjab and Haryana High Court decision in the Supreme Court. The HC overturned the 2019 conviction by a special CBI court. Chhatrapti had exposed sexual exploitation and rape at the Dera Sacha Sauda headquarters in Haryana's Sirsa.
