At least 29 people were killed and 250 injured in Panchkula while two died in Sirsa in the violence after a special CBI court in Panchkula held Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh guilty of rape yesterday.
The court had yesterday asked the Dera to submit the list of assets and properties which can be attached "in case it is found that they and their followers are responsible for damaging properties".
"Whosoever has been instigating and inciting the crowd that has gathered to commit the acts of arson and violence they would be sternly dealt with," the court said yesterday.
"The damages that are caused to public and private properties shall be recovered from them," it observed.
