US Edition'Yeshu Yeshu pastor' Bajinder Singh sentenced to life in prison in 2018 sexual harassment case
- Pastor Bajinder Singh, a self-styled preacher also known as the "Yeshu Yeshu prophet," was sentenced to life imprisonment on Tuesday by a court in Mohali, Punjab, in connection with a 2018 rape case.
- The case against the 42-year-old Singh stemmed from a 2018 complaint filed by a woman at the Zirakpur police station, alleging that he lured her with promises of travel abroad and then raped her at his residence.
- Singh was convicted under Sections 376 , 323 , and 506 of the Indian Penal Code for raping the woman, recording the act, and threatening to post the video online if she didn't comply with his demands; five other accused in the case were acquitted.
- Singh, who runs The Church of Glory and Wisdom and has a YouTube channel named "Prophet Bajinder Singh" with over 3.74 million subscribers, maintains that the allegations against him are false, while his lawyer, Anil Sagar, hailed the life sentence as an exemplary punishment.
- In addition to the 2018 rape case, Singh is facing a probe in another sexual harassment case filed on February 28 after a video went viral purportedly showing him arguing with and slapping a woman, and Punjab Police registered a third case against him for allegedly assaulting another woman after a prayer session, raising questions about his conduct and leading to calls for further investigation.
