For over two years, a local daily-wage earner is waiting for his young wife and mother of two to return from Dera Sacha Sauda in Sirsa where she is reportedly living in ‘servitude’.Kamlesh Raigar (27), who does not know how to use a mobile phone, is dependent on police investigation and his three brothers’ assistance to locate his wife with whom he first visited the Sirsa dera in March 2015.His wife, Guddi Devi (25) was taken by dera premis on the pretext that Ram Rahim has called her for ‘Dera Pramukh seva’ on March 28, 2015.  Kamlesh Raigar had lodged an FIR through an ‘istgasa’ (complaint in court) with the Jawahar Circle police station here in May 2015 that his wife was kept bondage in the ashram of Dera Sacha Sauda chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh, who was on Friday convicted in a rape case.On the basis of Kamlesh’s complaint of May 5, 2015, the CJM court in Jaipur on May 7, 2015 had asked the police to lodge the FIR of missing woman who was reportedly kept as bondage in the dera. Spending a lot of money on court fee which he borrowed from relatives, Kamlesh also filed a habeas corpus petition in the High Court in January 2016 for his wife’s “unlawful detention or imprisonment at Sirsa dera”.In March this year, the Jawahar Nagar police had put an “FR” in the case and filed the report in the local court, an investigating cop told The Tribune on Sunday on the condition of anonymity.The police had marked “FR” because they considered that Kamlesh himself had left his wife in the dera in 2015 and the case belonged to Sirsa police and it should be investigated by police of that state.The police had also found that the victim couple was involved in “mantra-tantra” at their home and used to attract local people for treatment of “evil spirits”.Besides, the police also alleged that the missing woman was ‘mentally challenged’.The complainant also filed a ‘protest petition’ against the police FR with the ACJM court-7 here, and its hearing is scheduled for September 7, where the police would also represent the case on which it put FR. Kamlesh went to the Sirsa dera a number of times to get his wife “relieved”, but he was told that she (Guddi) was in a pose of “samadhi” and will automatically return home.His two sons, aged 6 and 4, were not aware of the dera affairs have been given assurance by relatives that their mother will return one day, for sure.
