At least five people have died in the violence by Dera Sacha Sauda followers on Friday after the conviction of controversial sect chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh in a rape case, police sources said here.
Tens of thousands of followers of the Dera chief went on a rampage, burning vehicles and buildings and attacking media persons, after a special CBI court here pronounced the verdict in the 2002 case.
