Guru must pay for riot

THE Indian guru found guilty of raping two of his followers faces a bill for millions of dollars after thousands of people went on the rampage after his conviction.

Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh, who leads the Dera Sacha Sauda sect in northern India, was convicted on Friday of sexually assaulting two members of his group 15 years ago. Huge crowds then rioted in the town of Panchkula, where the 50-year-old was found guilty. At least 32 people died in the unrest.

The guru, left, known as “Rockstar Baba,” is due to be sentenced today.
