Controversial Preacher Bajinder Singh Sentenced to Life for Repeated Rape..
Court Delivers Verdict in High-Profile Case Against Self-Styled Godman..
In a landmark ruling, a court has sentenced controversial preacher Bajinder Singh to life imprisonment for multiple counts of rape and sexual assault. The self-proclaimed spiritual leader, who once drew massive crowds with his claims of performing miracles and divine healing, has now been convicted of repeated sexual exploitation of women under the guise of faith and blessings.
The case, which gained widespread attention, involved testimonies from multiple victims who accused Singh of using his religious influence to manipulate and exploit them. The court found him guilty based on substantial evidence, including victim statements, forensic reports, and digital proof recovered from his premises.
The Case & Conviction
Singh, known for his high-profile religious events and online sermons, was arrested after a woman came forward with a harrowing account of sexual abuse. Following her complaint, several other women stepped forward with similar allegations, leading to an extensive investigation.
According to the prosecution, Singh would invite women to his private chambers under the pretext of offering them divine blessings and healing. He would then drug, assault, and threaten them into silence. Some victims claimed they were manipulated into believing they were part of a “spiritual ritual.”
The court rejected Singh’s defense, which argued that he was being falsely framed due to rivalries within religious communities. The judge stated that the evidence was overwhelming, and the crimes were committed with deliberate intent and repeated pattern, making the life sentence justified.
Public Outrage & Religious Community’s Response
The conviction has shaken the religious community, with many of his former followers expressing shock and anger. While some hardcore supporters still claim a conspiracy against him, a majority of people have condemned his actions and welcomed the verdict.
Women’s rights activists have hailed the ruling as a victory for justice, urging authorities to crack down on fake spiritual leaders who exploit faith for personal gain. “This verdict sends a strong message that no one is above the law, no matter how powerful they appear,” said a spokesperson from a women’s rights organization.
Crackdown on Fake Godmen
Bajinder Singh’s case is not the first instance of self-styled godmen abusing their influence for personal and criminal gains. Several similar cases have emerged in recent years, exposing the dark side of unchecked religious power.
Authorities have now urged devotees to be cautious of self-proclaimed spiritual leaders, especially those who demand secrecy, large donations, or private meetings.
What’s Next?
Singh has the option to appeal the verdict, but legal experts believe that given the strong evidence and multiple convictions, the chances of overturning the ruling are slim. His religious empire is in shambles, with several of his followers distancing themselves from him after the scandal.
As Singh begins his life sentence, his case serves as a grim reminder of how blind faith can be misused, and why stringent action is needed against those who exploit religion for criminal activities.
