Bajinder Singh, the so-called "Prophet" behind the viral "Yeshu Yeshu" videos, is back in the news, but this time for all the wrong reasons. Known for his eccentric performances and "miracle healing" claims, Singh is facing severe allegations of sexual harassment, mental torture, and intimidation. This self-proclaimed pastor, who once gained a massive following through his online videos and dramatic church performances, has now found himself at the center of a disturbing scandal that raises serious questions about his conduct and the larger issue of exploitation within religious circles.
Who Is Bajinder Singh?
Bajinder Singh, born in September 1982 in Yamunanagar, Haryana, is the founder of the Church of Glory and Wisdom, which he established in 2012. Over the years, his church has expanded, with multiple branches sprouting in Punjab and beyond. Singh rose to fame due to his peculiar approach to healing, which he claimed could cure ailments like HIV and paralysis using "anointing oil."
His viral videos, particularly one in 2023 where he allegedly healed a speech-impaired girl, contributed to his ever-growing social media following. As of now, he boasts over 3 million subscribers on YouTube and more than a million followers on Facebook and Instagram. Singh’s church even earned the attention of Bollywood celebrities, adding to its allure.
But behind this charismatic exterior lurked a darker, more sinister side that has now come to light.
The Allegations: A Dark Secret Behind the Miracles
Singh's rise to fame has been marred by a series of unsettling allegations. A 22-year-old woman has come forward to accuse him of sexual harassment, mental torture, and intimidation, spanning several years. Her complaint, lodged at the Kapurthala City police station, has left the public shaken.
Here’s a breakdown of the chilling details:
-
The Beginning of the Ordeal: The woman claims she first started attending Singh's church with her parents in 2017 when she was just 16 or 17. According to her, Singh began communicating with her over the phone, initially sending indecent messages before escalating to inappropriate touch during church visits.
-
The Torture Intensifies: By 2022, the harassment allegedly took a more sinister turn. Singh reportedly began asking her to meet him in the church cabin on Sundays, where he would physically touch her inappropriately. What followed was a relentless campaign of mental and emotional abuse. The woman says that Singh’s associates would send cars to follow her after she left college, even threatening her family with violence.
-
Extortion and Intimidation: According to the woman, the threats weren’t just verbal. She claims that Singh and his associates threatened her family’s lives, asking if she wanted her father to never return home or her mother to leave the church alive. The level of intimidation was so severe that it pushed her into a state of depression.
-
The Allegation of Criminal Activities: The woman also alleges that Singh was involved in the opium trade and other illegal activities, including "selling girls at GB Road," a notorious area in Delhi known for prostitution. These allegations paint a picture of a man who, behind his public image as a healer, may be deeply enmeshed in criminal activities.
-
The Shocking Evidence: The woman claims to have video evidence of the church’s leader, Pradhan Avtar, pleading with her to resolve the matter internally and avoid external interference. She also stated that Singh frequently switches SIM cards to hide his communications with women and allegedly engages in similar activities with other victims.
-
The Police Involvement: Following the woman’s complaint, the police have filed charges under sections 354 A (sexual harassment), 354 D (stalking), and 506 (criminal intimidation) of the Indian Penal Code. The police have formed a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to look into the case, and the National Commission for Women has demanded swift action against Singh.
Singh’s Defense: Denials and Conspiracy Claims
As the case unfolds, Bajinder Singh has vehemently denied the accusations. He has gone on record stating that he has not fled anywhere and that he is at home with his two young children. In his own words, "I am a father of small children, I can never do such a wrong thing."
However, his defense took a bizarre turn when, in a video addressing his followers, Singh claimed that the allegations against him were part of a conspiracy by rival pastors. He called on his supporters to help him "bring the women who have wronged him to justice." Singh even threatened to name the women involved, further fueling the chaos.
It’s clear that Singh is trying to maintain his public image, but whether he can keep his loyal followers in the dark as more information comes to light remains to be seen.
The Backlash: Legal Trouble and Previous Controversies
This isn’t the first time Bajinder Singh has faced legal trouble. In 2021, his viral "Yeshu Yeshu" video, featuring a young boy supposedly witnessing a miraculous healing, sparked outrage. The video showed the boy sobbing uncontrollably as Singh asked him whether his sister, once speech-impaired, could now speak. The unsettling imagery prompted the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) to intervene, seeking action against Singh for exploiting a minor child in the name of superstitious practices.
Additionally, Singh was previously arrested in 2018 in connection with a rape case involving a woman from Zirakpur, Punjab. The victim accused him of sexually assaulting her under the pretense of offering overseas travel opportunities. This event, though overshadowed by his later controversies, painted a grim picture of his behavior even before the current accusations surfaced.
Singh's Connection to Bollywood and His Following
Despite his many legal entanglements and mounting allegations, Singh has managed to maintain a strong social media presence. His church boasts a significant following, particularly among vulnerable individuals looking for spiritual guidance. The connection between Singh's church and Bollywood celebrities has only amplified his public image, leading many to question the influence he wields.
While some see him as a modern-day miracle worker, others argue that Singh’s success is built on manipulation and exploitation, with his celebrity connections acting as a smokescreen for darker activities.
What Happens Next? The Investigation Continues
As the police investigation moves forward, the future of Bajinder Singh remains uncertain. His ability to evade justice, coupled with his high-profile social media following, suggests that this scandal is far from over. With evidence mounting against him, Singh’s public defense may falter under the weight of truth.
It remains to be seen whether the law will catch up with Singh, or if his loyal following will continue to rally behind him despite the serious allegations. One thing is clear: the case has sparked a much-needed conversation about the exploitation of power within religious institutions and the dangers of blind faith.
The Need for Accountability in Spiritual Leadership
The story of Bajinder Singh is a cautionary tale for anyone who places their trust in self-proclaimed spiritual leaders. Behind the masks of “miracle healing” and “divine power,” some of these figures may be hiding far darker motives. The case against Singh highlights the importance of holding such individuals accountable and ensuring that spiritual guidance does not turn into exploitation.
It's time to reflect on the bigger picture. The safety and well-being of individuals, especially vulnerable ones, should always come first. While the authorities investigate, let us remember that true faith never involves intimidation, threats, or exploitation.
