Self-Styled Pastor Bajinder Singh Sentenced to Life for 2018 Rape Case

The Mohali court's verdict marks a pivotal moment in the fight against abuse of power, as investigations into additional allegations against Singh continue.

Bajinder Singh, a self-styled pastor known for his 'miracle healings,' was sentenced to life imprisonment for raping a woman in 2018 at his Mohali residence.
The victim alleged Singh recorded the assault and threatened to release the video if she refused his demands, which included extortion and compliance.
Five other accused in the case were acquitted, while Singh was convicted under Indian Penal Code Sections 376 (rape), 323 (causing hurt), and 506 (criminal intimidation).
Singh faces ongoing investigations for additional allegations, including a February 2025 sexual harassment complaint and a viral video showing him assaulting a woman.
The victim expressed gratitude for the court's decision, calling it justice served, as public and institutional scrutiny over Singh's actions remains high.
