In a viral video making rounds on social media, Dera Sacha Sauda chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim can be seen cutting a giant cake with a sword while out on a 40-day parole from a 20-year jail sentence.

Ram Rahim walked out of the Sunaria prison in Rohtak, Haryana on Saturday on a 40-day parole that, according to his bail application, was asked for by the Dera chief to attend the celebrations on the birth anniversary of former Dera chief Shah Satnam Singh, which is on Wednesday, January 25.

The Dera chief is currently serving a 20-year sentence for the rape of two of his female followers.

It may be pertinent to note that the public display of weapons in India is prohibited under the Arms Act.
