They had been charged with murder, wrongful confinement of people and criminal conspiracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A woman was found dead at Rampal&#8217;s Ashram in Hisar district on November 19, 2014. Rampal was arrested the same day for murder and other charges were slapped on him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Tuesday, the court sentenced the engineer-turned self-styled godman and 14 of his followers to life imprisonment in connection with another case of murder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On October 11, Rampal and some of his followers had been convicted in two separate cases of murder and other offences, including wrongful confinement of his victims at his Ashram in Hisar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additional Sessions Judge D R Chalia also slapped a fine of Rs 2.05 lakh on each of the convicts on Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The court awarded life imprisonment and a fine of Rs one lakh each under Section 302 IPC, two years imprisonment under Section 343 IPC and fine of Rs 5,000 each, and life imprisonment under Section 120 B and fine of Rs one lakh each.

Section 144 of the CrPC, prohibiting gathering of more than four persons, has been imposed by the district magistrate, effective till October 17.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before becoming a self-styled godman, Rampal worked as a junior engineer in a Haryana government department for 15 years before quitting in May 1995.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He later set up an Ashram in Barwala area in Hisar district and another one in Rohtak district and gradually gained popularity as a spiritual leader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He took to full-time preaching, touring the villages and the cities across Haryana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2006, he ran into controversy and invited the ire of Arya Samaj followers in Rohtak region because of his alleged unwelcome comments on Swami Dayanand Maharishi.\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hisar:\u00a0A Haryana court sentenced self-styled god man Rampal and his 13 followers to life imprisonment in a second case of murder Wednesday.
