April 2, 2025 at 1:28 AM

An Indian court has sentenced self-styled Christian preacher Bajinder Singh to life imprisonment for raping a woman in 2018.

The woman had accused Singh of raping her at his home in the northern state of Punjab, recording the act and using the video later to blackmail her.

Singh, who has millions of followers, rose to fame for his evangelist-style preaching and events, where he can be seen “healing” people suffering from serious illnesses by placing his hands on them.
