Gurmeet Ram Rahim has been making the headlines ever since he was convicted of rape and sentenced to 20 years imprisonment. After the hearing, people came forward to state that Ram Rahim and his adopted daughter HoneyPreet did not share a father-daughter bond and in reality were secret lovers. HoneyPreet had been on the run ever since Ram Rahim was put behind bars.

Now, she has finally come out of hiding and has been arrested after she surrendered. She has spoken her heart out to a leading television news channel. She stated, "The Honeypreet about whom the media is talking (about) is not the real one. They have showed me as someone who is afraid of herself after the whole incident. I cannot describe my present mental state. I have been called a traitor, which is absolutely wrong. I was present at the court with permission. How else do you think can a woman be in the premises amid such security arrangement? The court permitted me to be with papa."

HoneyPreet reacted to the allegations made against her relationship with Ram Rahim, "I do not understand how someone can question the holy relationship between a father and daughter. My main concern was the way the media projected me. How can they malign a father and daughter's relationship? Can a father not keep his hands on his daughter? Can a daughter not love her father?"

"You have seen the whole situation. How am I guilty? I just did what a daughter is meant to do. I have not spoken to anyone. How am I involved in riots? We went to the court believing that everything would be fine and we would be back in the evening. But the outcome was devastating and the verdict was against us. Our brain stopped working. How can we conspire in such a situation?" added Honeypreet.

When asked why she went into hiding, she revealed, " I went into depression. The girl who talked about patriotism with her father went to jail, then she was accused of treason. I did not know the legal process. After my father's departure, I became helpless. I did what people guided me to do. I will now go to the Punjab and Haryana High Court. But it will take some time to handle my present mental state."

"My father and I are innocent and the truth will come out soon. My relationship with my father is pure. Please don't trust these baseless allegations," Honeypreet concluded.
