Indian court sentences guru to 10 years for rape. Police issue shoot on sight order…
The guru’s followers went on a deadly rampage after he was convicted of rape on Friday.
“The court has ordered 10-year jail term for the accused,” Ram Niwas, senior bureaucrat in charge of law and order in Haryana, told Reuters.
Supporters of Singh’s cult resorted to violent protests last week, which killed at least 38 and injured more than 200 in Haryana state, after a local court found him guilty of raping two women in a case dating back to 2002.
The cult has a vast rural following in the states of Punjab and Haryana.
Police issue shoot on sight order
Police earlier issued orders to shoot protesters on sight ahead of the sentencing of a self-styled guru whose conviction for rape triggered deadly clashes last week.
“We have issued shoot-on-sight orders if anyone tries to start a protest,” said Ram Niwas, a senior bureaucrat in Haryana in-charge of law and order.
Singh’s lawyer told Reuters his client was innocent and would appeal against his conviction.
Authorities imposed curfews in several areas of Haryana and Punjab states, while the capital, Delhi is on alert.
Niwas said Singh would not be taken to court to hear his sentence. Instead, the judge who convicted him would be flown to the jail where he is being held in Rohtak town.
The prison has been transformed into a fortress, with journalists banned from approaching closer than a mile (1.6 km) and roads lined with barbed-wire barricades.

Hail pelts #Perth on coldest day of year
At 3.20pm the maximum temperature recorded had been 14.2 degrees at 1.21pm. The previous coldest day of the year had come on Sunday July 2, when the temperature “maxed out” at 14.6.
Footage of hail had been captured by residents in Jane Brook, Lesmurdie, Kelmscott, Bassendean and Mandurah – where Meadow Springs, Falcon, Erskine, Dudley Park and Greenfields were all hit.
The Mandurah hail came during a lunchtime downpour where winds of nearly 70km/h crossed the coast.
Meanwhile, the heavy rain that started on Tuesday continued into today and resulted in more than 50mm of rain being recorded at the Perth metropolitan station over the two days.
Perth recorded more than 47mm of rain in the 24 hours until 9am today and has registered another 6mm since, with more to come from overnight showers.
The good news is that the worst of the front has now passed and better weather can be expected tomorrow and Friday. The bad new is that the winter conditions will return for the weekend and beyond.
Heavier falls will be back from Friday night and early Saturday morning, with showers during the day on Saturday and that will continue into Sunday.
Another cold front is set to move in for Monday.

Better Call Saul s3 ep3 ‘Sunk Costs’ review: Expert visual storytelling
It’s pleasing how slowly, carefully and meticulously the story unfolds, and while this does continue to verge on snail-paced or frustrating on occasion, for the most part, it’s very enjoyable being sucked into its world every week.
*Episode 3 spoilers ahead, watch it on Netflix here*
The show’s two central stories have now taken completely separate paths (that I’m sure will intersect toward the end of the season), with Mike deep into brooding, dusty, lo-fi MacGyver territory while Jimmy provides the show’s emotion, so tragicomic is his situation.
Chuck follows through on his promise to have the book thrown at Jimmy with great velocity in ‘Sunk Costs’, as the police arrive to arrest Jimmy for a list of charges (and did you notice the handcuff detail on his shoes? Classic Vince Gilligan/Peter Gould stuff). Adding insult to injury, Chuck – always convinced of his moral high ground and in denial of the truth: he’s an asshole – tells Jimmy he is having his brother busted for his own good, leading Jimmy to, in no uncertain terms, sever ties with Chuck, telling him very blankly that he will die alone.

Fantasy-like images capture hot air balloons floating above dramatic landscapes
Many people say taking a hot air balloon ride is a magical experience. And judging by these photographs, it appears to be truly out of this world.
Kristina Makeeva, 29, from Moscow, Russia, journeyed to Cappadocia in Turkey to capture hot air balloons against a range of surreal landscapes.
Her dreamy images show dozens of colourful balloons in mid-flight, soaring above snow-covered peaks, arid deserts and tucked-away towns.
The artist, who has more than 200,000 followers on Instagram, ventured to rooftops and took rides in the balloons herself to get the perfect shots.
The ancient region of Cappadocia dates back to 3000 B.C and it is known for its unique volcanic landscape, fairy chimneys, large network of underground dwellings and some of the best hot air ballooning in the world.
Makeeva said she was so enthralled with the area she is set to re-visit this spring. Scroll down to see all of her spell-binding scenes…
