CHANDIGARH, Aug 26 - The death toll in the violence following Dera Sacha Sauda chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh�s conviction in a rape case climbed up to 36 today even as there was no report of fresh violence in Haryana.

State authorities are now trying to ensure that there are no untoward incidents tomorrow or on Monday when the special CBI court judge will be flown to the district jail in Sunaria in Rohtak for pronouncing the quantum of sentence.

Meanwhile, Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh chaired a high-level meeting in New Delhi to review the security situation in the country, particularly in Haryana, following large-scale violence after the court verdict on Dera chief. � PTI
