Radha Soami Sect chief flown to Singapore for medical check-up

The chief of Radha Soami sect, Gurinder Singh Dhillon, was today flown to Singapore for medical check-up on the advice of doctors.

An official at Beas headquarters of the sect said Dhillon was flown to Singapore for complete medical check-up on the advice of a team of doctors at Fortis Escort hospital.

Dhillon was suffering gastritis problems but could not take any medicine without consulting the doctors at a hospital in Singapore from where he was receiving regular treatment after being diagnosed with throat cancer two years ago, an official said.

After Dhillon was flown to Singapore, a two-day religious congregation at Beas headquarter of the sect, nearly 45 kilometres from Amritsar, was cancelled.

The sect Dera Radha Soami also known as Dera Baba Jaimal Singh has a large number of followers across the nation.
