3 days, 3 bold decisions by the Judiciary: Twitter hails CBI court's conviction of Dera Chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh

Twitter was abuzz minutes after a CBI court convicted Dera Chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh in a rape case.

People hailed the court, and said that it was the third case this week where Indians could once again believe in their judicial system.

The high-voltage drama that started from Dera Sacha Sauda's Sirsa headquarters ended at the CBI Court in Panchkula with conviction of powerful sect chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh.

Earlier during the day, legions of ardent devotees tried to stop his motorcade in the five-hour journey to the court. Reports said that there were over 800 vehicles in the cavalcade. Despite the followers' appeal that their 'Guru' was innocent, the self-styled Godman has been found guilty and sent to the Rohtak jail. The court will decide the quantum of punishment on August 28.

There are reports that police fired tear gas in Panchkula's Sector 2 where many Dera supporters have been camping.

Meanwhile, the Supreme Court has directed the Chandigarh administration to provide free medical service, counselling and necessary help to the girl who had accused sexual assault by Ram Rahim in 2002. The top court has said that all necessary steps must be taken to protect her identity. The apex court has also ordered to make a fixed deposit of Rs 9 Lakh for the rape survivor and asked hospital to keep her medical records in a sealed cover.

Here are some of the tweets

Irony of this nation is, that we will see much more people protesting on roads in support of #RamRahimSingh than we saw for Nirbhaya.
