CBI has registered an FIR against Dera Sacha Sauda chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh on charges of forced castration of followers at his ashram at Sirsa in Haryana.
CBI registered the case on the directive of the Punjab and Haryana High Court.
Earlier, the court had asked the CBI to investigate the allegations, after a former Dera follower, Hansraj Chauhan filed a petition alleging in this regard.
The medical examination of Hansraj Chauhan established that he had indeed been castrated.
