When questioned about Honeypreet's whereabouts, Arya said that he had no clue about it.
He said that Honeypreet is very upset with the conviction of the Dera chief and the 'irresponsible' presentation of her relationship with Ram Rahim.
"We are requesting for urgent hearing. Primarily, she has been charged with treason. The charges farmed against her are incorrect," Arya said.
As per Honeypreet's lawyer, the case has been filed against her under Sections 151, 152, 153, 120B, 121A of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
The Haryana Police on September 18 released a 'wanted list' of 43 people, over the violence unleashed after Ram Rahim's conviction in connection with two rape cases. The list had Honeypreet Insan's name at the top.
Dera Sacha Sauda followers indulged in several acts of violence after a CBI court ordered Ram Rahim's conviction in connection with the two rape cases on August 25. The violence resulted in the death of 41 people and injuries to more than 250 others.
