A 22-year-old woman has filed a complaint with the Punjab police in Kapurthala, accusing Pastor Bajinder Singh of sexually assaulting her as a teenager.
The police registered a case of sexual harassment, criminal intimidation and stalking against the Christian evangelist on Friday (28th February). The victim had been attending Pastor Bajinder Singh’s congregation since December 2017.
By 2020, she had become a part of his ‘worship team.’ According to the victim, the Christian evangelist began sending her unwanted messages after taking her phone number. She was only 17 years old then.
“I started fearing him and was wary of informing my parents. In 2022, he started making me sit in his cabin on Sundays. When I would be alone, he would forcibly hug me and touch me in a dirty way,” the FIR read.
Now, a woman in Kapurthala has filed an FIR against Pastor Bajinder Singh for mentally and physically harassing her.
