Attempt to murder charges against 53 Dera followers dropped
A Panchkula court has dropped the sedition and attempt to murder charges against 53 Dera Sacha Sauda followers and officials in connection with the Panchkula riots last year. The court observed that "merely pelting pebbles from some distance" couldn't be considered attempt to murder. The clashes had broken out after conviction of Dera chief Ram Rahim in a rape case.
