Pastor Bajinder Singh is married to wife Ankita
A woman accused the ‘Yeshu Yeshu Prophet’ Bajinder Singh of engaging in non-consensual s*xual encounters with her under the guise of sending her overseas, and the court of Additional District and Sessions Judge Vikrant Kumar has rendered the decision in the r*pe case.
The victim had also claimed that the pastor had recorded a p*rnographic film of her. On March 28, the Jalandhar-based 42-year-old Bajinder Singh was found guilty by the court with him sentenced to life imprisonment today.
The case began in 2018 when a woman from Zirakpur accused Bajinder of s*xually exploiting her under the guise of helping her travel abroad and alleged that he recorded an inappropriate video and threatened to release it online if she did not meet his demands. Bajinder was earlier out on bail.
