Haryana police on Tuesday charged Honeypreet Insan, the "adopted" daughter of rape convict Dera Sacha Sauda chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim, as the main accused in the violence that consumed 40 lives in Panchkula and other parts of the state on August 25.

Widespread violence broke out soon after the sect chief was held guilty of raping two women by a special CBI court in Panchkula.

Honeypreet was booked by the Panchkula police on charges of inciting



violence, sedition among others.

A 1,200 page charge-sheet was filed against Honeypreet and other accused in a Panchkula court on Tuesday.

The police charged Honeypreet of planning the violence and distributing money for the purpose. The police, sources said, have maintained that the violence was pre-meditated and Honeypreet was the main conspirator.

Honeypreet is currently lodged in Ambala central jail.
