Haryana Police today said that jailed Dera Sacha Sauda chief's adopted daughter Honeypreet Insan has been booked for allegedly inciting violence following the conviction of Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh. Honeypreet has been booked at Sector 5 police station in Panchkula. The police added her name in FIR number 345 as an accused in connection with the violence that took place in Panchkula on August 25. 

Panchkula Police Commissioner AS Chawla said that Honeypreet is an accused in the case now. 

Her name has been included in the same FIR in which other Dera functionaries Aditya Insan and Surinder Dhiman, among others, had been booked for allegedly inciting violence and arson, Chawla added.

Haryana DGP BS Sandhu said that efforts are on to nab Honeypreet. Asked about reports that Honeypreet is in Nepal, the DGP said that there was no concrete information in this regard. "We are verifying each and every information, which we are getting."

Honeypreet had accompanied Ram Rahim when he was taken to Sunaria jail in Rohtak through chopper following his conviction in rape case on August 25. After that she went into hiding.
