Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar denies meeting Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh

Mumbai: Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar, who has been summoned by a Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing police firing on protesters in Punjab against religious sacrilege, on Monday denied meeting Dera Sacha Sauda sect head Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh. In a statement put out on social media, Akshay denied “rumors and false statements” about his involvement with Ram Rahim Singh following reports that he arranged a meeting between the godman and then Punjab’s Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal.

“I have never ever met Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh in my life, anywhere. I learned from social media at some point that Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh resided for a while at some place in my locality Juhu in Mumbai but we never ever crossed each other’s paths,” Akshay said in a statement. Ram Rahim Singh’s movie “MSG” ran into opposition from the Sikh community. (IANS)
