Central Bureau of Investigation special court in Panchkula awards life imprisonment to Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh in journalist Ramchandra Chhatarpati murder case.

Three other convicts Kuldeep Singh, Nirmal Singh and Krishan Lal, have also been awarded life imprisonment.

The court has also imposed a fine of Rs 50,000 each.

Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh is currently serving a 20-year prison term in jail for raping two of his followers.

Chhatrapati was shot in October 2002 outside his house after his newspaper 'Poora Sach' published an anonymous letter narrating how women were being sexually exploited by Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh at the Dera headquarters in Sirsa.

The case was registered in 2003 and handed over to the CBI in 2006. -- ANI, PTI
