A Mohali Court on Friday pronounced pastor Bajinder Singh guilty in a 2018 sexual harassment case. The pronouncement of the sentence on punishment will take place on April 1, as per news agency ANI. The 2018 case, in which the preacher has been found guilty, pertains to rape charge against him by a Zirakpur-based victim, who alleged that the pastor established non-consensual relations with her on the pretext of taking her abroad.

A woman had filed a complaint stating that she and her parents have been attending the church since October 2017. Bajinder Singh, who gained fame through the viral 'Mera Yeshu Yeshu' video, obtained the woman's mobile number and began sending her messages. The woman claimed that since 2022, Singh made her sit alone in a cabin at the church on Sundays, where he allegedly hugged and touched her inappropriately. She also stated that Singh followed her on her way to college and threatened her with severe consequences if she disclosed his actions to anyone.
