▼ An Indian guru who is already in jail for rape has been convicted for the 2002 murder of a journalist.
Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh, leader of the Dera Sacha Sauda sect, was given a 20-year sentencein 2017 for raping two female followers.
He will be sentenced for the murder on 17 January.
Newspaper editor Ram Chander Chhatrapati was shot dead after exposing abuse at Dera's headquarters in the north-western city of Sirsa.
Three other men were also convicted of Chhatrapati's murder - Kuldeep Singh, Nirmal Singh and Krishan Lal.
The self-styled holy man appeared at the court in Panchkula in Haryana state through a video link from his prison.
During the trial, security was stepped up across the state and in parts of Punjab - where most of Dera's followers live.
Violence erupted after the sect leader's rape conviction in August 2017, which resulted in the deaths of 38 people.
Soon afterwards, about 50 other women came forward with their own allegations about sexual abuse in the sect.

Good that the long arms of law could reach him at last.The surging popularity of this bogus guru in his heyday and the hold he had on his followers posed a real challenge to the authorities.The more such frauds are brought to justice the greater the chances of redemption of the poor and the gullible who are under their spell.
