1 of the Biggest Questions that hurts millions of people's emotions in the  Baba Ram Rahim rape case is whether he is really guilty or not, but the case is still running in 2026 to the Supreme Court. It's not the only case; he was also convicted in a 2002 murder case of Ranjit Singh ( His Former Driver ), he was found guilty of orchestrating the killing due to Ranjit Singh's alleged interference in his Dera Sacha Sauda activities and finances, leading to a life sentence. But later in 2024, it was proved that he was not guilty in that case.

Seriously, that means someone gets a life sentence without even being guilty; it's totally possible. How the court can make such a huge mistake, this also makes people start doubting other decisions of the court, even in the Baba Ram Rahim rape case, which is now under the Supreme Court, due to which he is in jail. Is he really even guilty or not?

Insights into the Baba Ram Rahim Ranjeet Singh Murder Case 2002 

Ranjit Singh was the driver of Dera Sacha Sauda chief Baba Ram Rahim, and in his murder case, a life sentence was given to Baba Ram Rahim by the CBI Court in 2021, but later in 2024 High Court found out the truth and declared him innocent. 

Case background

2002 – Ranjit Singh Murder:

Ranjit Singh (Dera follower & Baba Ram Rahim’s former driver) was found shot dead in Kurukshetra.

2003 – CBI Investigation ordered:

Punjab & Haryana High Court orders CBI to probe the murder because the local police investigation was not satisfactory.

2007 – CBI files charge sheet:

CBI names Gurmeet Ram Rahim and 4 others as conspirators for masterminding the killing.

Why the CBI Court found him GUILTY (2021)

(They gave him life imprisonment based on this logic)

Motive theory accepted:

CBI said Ranjit Singh wanted to tell the truth about Ram Rahim’s sexual abuse happening inside the Dera. The court believed that because he wanted to expose this truth, he was killed.

Witness statements:

Statements linked that the orders to kill Ranjit directly came from Ram Rahim.

Circumstantial chain:

The court felt that the events surrounding the Dera's politics, threats, and timing are sufficient to conclude a conspiracy.

No solid alternative theory

The court concluded “absence of another strong motive” supports the prosecution's verdict.

Result: Life imprisonment for Ram Rahim and 4 others.

Truth and Logics High Court Found and declared him innocent in 2024

(Why the conviction collapsed)

Motive NOT proven:

The court said the prosecution could not prove that “the sexual exploitation information leak” was a motive strong enough to plan a murder.

Witness reliability doubtful:

The main witnesses had several conflicts and delays in their statements.

No direct evidence:

Zero physical proof that Ram Rahim ordered or planned the killing.

Circumstantial links broken:

The “chain of events” wasn’t tight enough to show he ordered murder beyond doubt.

Remote role argument failed:

The court said simply being the leader of an organisation doesn’t automatically prove he issued murder instructions.

Benefit of doubt:

Because the case had only weak statements, the court freed the accused.

Result: All accused acquitted by the Punjab & Haryana High Court.

Baba Ram Rahim Rape Case: All truth and facts

Now lets discuss the complete case details and present situation of baba ram rahim rape case in 2026, is baba ram rahim is proven guilty or the case is still running?, does the court have any solid proofs or is it just a Gender biased decission as there are lot more cases in india in which we later found that “it was a fake case made by girl” and the guy is innocent. I totally agree that women's safety is a big concern in India in 2026, but also male safety, because of these fake cases and the gender biased judgments by the courts. 

Details of Baba Ram Rahim Rape Case

Period 1998 - 2002:  Two former devotee women of Dera Sacha Sauda blamed Baba  Ram Rahim for rape and sexual exploitation inside the Sirsa Dera.

Anonymous letter to PM (2002): One woman sends a letter to the Prime Minister describing sexual abuse inside Dera and naming Ram Rahim directly.

High Court orders CBI Probe (2002): Punjab & Haryana High Court reads the letter and orders CBI investigation.

CBI Investigation & Charges

2007 – Charge sheet filed:

After just interviews and statements, the CBI files a rape case against Ram Rahim.

Victim testimonies:

Women say they were threatened, locked, and forced into sexual acts “as God’s command.”

Why did the CBI Court treat him as GUILTY (2017)

Direct victim testimony:

Statements of those 2 women about the rape.

Statements  from Dera insiders:

Some of the insiders give statements that women were kept under control, and movement was restricted.

Behavioural pattern:

The judge ruled Ram Rahim used his spiritual position to exploit followers sexually.

According to the CBI judgement, no defence evidence is strong enough to contradict these women's statements.

Result: 20 years jail for rape (10+10 consecutive).

Current Status of the Rape Case of Baba Ram Rahim in 2026

• Currently, Baba Ram Rahim is in Sunaria Jail, Rohtak (Haryana). He got imprisoned for 20 Years (10 + 10), i.e. 2017 to 2037
• The lawyers of Dera Sacha Sauda appealed against the verdicts in the Supreme Court, and the case has been admitted for further hearings.
• In 2026, the Baba Ram Rahim case is still ongoing in the Supreme Court.

There may be a chance that this is a fake rape case against Baba Ram Rahim.

The High Court has already delivered its verdict, but there are points which should be highlighted, which give a totally different angle to the case, and there is a huge chance that this is just a fake case against Baba Ram Rahim to defame him. 

Let's understand all these points.

1. No Physical/Forensic Evidence

• The case was built merely on women’s statements.
• No medical exam from the actual rape period, no DNA, no injury proof.
• In a criminal rape case, that’s a huge loophole.

2. 15-year delay to file charges

• Alleged rapes happened in the late 90s–2002…
• Chargesheet came in 2007… conviction 2017.
• An insanely long delay always weakens precision, memory, and fairness.

3. Political Timing Suspicion

• Dera had a strong influence in Punjab/Haryana.
• Opponents had a motive to destroy that influence.
• The letter to the Prime Minister surfaced at a time when tensions between the Dera and Sikh organizations were at their peak. This suggests that political interests may have influenced the narrative.

4. No Independent Witness

• Only the insiders accused him, and the insiders defended him.
• Nobody neutral saw anything.
• A criminal conviction is merely based on statements from the inner circle.

5. “God’s Command” narrative is subjective

• Victims said he told them, “God ordered you to be with me.”
• That’s psychologically disgusting, but legally hard to prove mind control beyond a reasonable doubt.

6. Survivor Recognition Issue

• One survivor stayed inside the area even after the alleged assault.
• Courts see trauma behaviour differently, but the public sees that as suspicious.

7. CBI built motive backwards

• Instead of proving rape, they assumed rape and built a motive from there.
• Poor investigation results in permanent doubt.

8. Character vs Evidence problem

• He is hated by a lot of drug or alcohol sellers as he was raising awareness among people to not consume such things, so they started to spread negative rumours against Baba Ram Rahim.
• Sometimes the court gets influenced by image rather than pure evidence.

9. No confession, no recorded threat

• Everything came down to a narrative battle:
• Victim story vs accused denial.
• Law ideally needs more than spoken words.

10. CBI pressure theory

• Whenever CBI touches religious/political cases,
• People suspect invisible pressure from governments and agencies.
• Not proof, but a doubt generator.

Myths Vs Facts of the Baba Ram Rahim Rape Case in 2026

There are a lot of rumours from the devotees, the Media, and the Public, so let's understand all the facts and myths of the Baba Ram Rahim rape case from 3 POVs.

• POV of Devotees
• POV of Media or Public
• Actual Truth

My Personal Opinion about the Baba Ram Rahim Rape Case 

I am studying about this case from a long time and even visited both Dera Sacha Sauda, Sirsa (Haryana) and Dera Sacha Sauda, Barnawa ( Uttar Pardesh) to understand the things better i have found alot of things regarding this case and also alot of points that were raised which made me belive that case may be true or false but definately there is someone trying to Defame Dera Sacha Sauda with a strong Motive. Let me tell you about all the points and details I have analyzed and feel regarding my research.

You May Have heard about the Own currency used in Dera Sacha Sauda.

Many spiritual or public places have a token system to manage accounts in an easy way. This was also followed by Dera Sacha Sauda for trade products inside the organization only. I don't think this can be such a huge point of defamation without a strong motivation to defame someone.

Myth of the Skeletons Found under the trees in Dera Sacha Sauda.

There are a lot of rumours about the skeleton being found in Dera Sacha Sauda, which got viral just after Baba Ram Rahin was sent to jail for the rape case in 2017, but there was no such evidence till now. Let me tell you something interesting: there is a welfare work that, instead of putting ashes into rivers to avoid water pollution, we can grow trees on them.

So Dera Sacha Sauda's welfare work is to grow a tree on that ashes instead of flowing it, so it can be valuable for the earth, as it doesn't produce pollution, its a blessing for earth, Because of this welfare work its become easy to spread a rumour of skeltons, it clearly shows that somebody with a huge motivation of defaming Dera Sacha Sauda is trying to spread rumors, may be it has also some links with the ram rahim rape case.

Regarding Women's Safety in Dera Aashram, Sirsa

There is a well-defined separation between Male and Female, so a proper discipline can be maintained, also, i have tried to talk with alot of female devotees of Baba ram rahim and stayed at ashram for a week but didnt find anything suspicious, even there were females who are devotees from more than 40 years but even they didnt faced or saw anything suspicious till now. The final truth would be determined by the legal bodies of India, as the case is ongoing in the Supreme Court. However, when you visit his aashram, there is nothing suspicious that can create a doubt, even though most of the people here are too polite and kind-hearted.

My POV

The Actual truth is still a mystery until the Supreme courts comes to a decision but what i believe is we can’t judge someone just by case or just by going to jail as we know alot of innocents are still in jail and alot of guilty’s are roaming freely not only in india but worldwide, i personally believe that before coming to any conclusion one should visit the ashram and analyse the things to get the better answer.

I am not in the position to judge his guilt or innocence, but the atmosphere in the ashram is compelling. It made me feel that I should contribute to his social work and be a part of his mission to promote humanity and create a better world.

Conclusion

The Baba Ram Rahim rape case in 2026 remains legally unresolved, with the matter now before the Supreme Court. Past verdict reversals, like the Ranjit Singh murder case acquittal, have triggered public doubt and emotional division, but the final truth in the rape case will depend only on evidence and future judgments. Until the Supreme Court delivers its decision, branding the case as fake or proven is speculation. India has seen wrongful convictions and false accusations, but it has also seen justice delivered after long trials. Time, facts, and legal scrutiny will define the final outcome.
