Priyanka Taneja (36), alias Honeypreet Insan, the adopted daughter Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh had masterminded and funded the Panchkula violence, claimed the Dera Sacha Sauda supporters.
The claim has been made by the five Dera Sacha Sauda supporters who are in police custody, reported CNN-News18.
Honeypreet had called for a meeting at the Sirsa headquarters on August 17, to plan for the August 25 rape case hearing against Gurmeet Ram Rahim, Dan Singh, one of the followers told police.
Singh also told the police that Honeypreet had sanctioned Rs 1.25 crore to be moved to Panchkula ahead of the CBI court hearing.
41 were killed in the violence which broke out following Ram Rahim Singh's conviction on August 25.
Honeypreet was arrested by the Haryana Police from Zirakpur-Patiala road. She has been sent to a six-day police remand.
Honeypreet was at the top of a list of 43 people 'wanted' by the Haryana Police in connection with the incidents of violence.
In the courtroom, she stood with folded hands and pleaded innocence with tears in her eyes. "Honeypreet was with the Dera head after his conviction. In no way she was involved in inciting violence," her counsel said.
Honeypreet, who calls herself 'Papa's angel', had accompanied Ram Rahim from the sect headquarters at Sirsa to special CBI court in Panchkula on August 25. After Dera chief's conviction that day, she also accompanied him in a chopper when he was flown to Rohtak jail.
