Warrant against pastor Bajinder in 2018 case
Amid an ongoing probe into sexual harassment charges against Jalandhar-based pastor Bajinder Singh at Kapurthala, a non-bailable warrant has been issued against him in a previous (2018) case by a Mohali court.
Additional District and Sessions Judge (ASJ) Harsimranjit Singh issued the warrant against him on Monday (March 3) following his failure to appear in the court.
As the pastor failed to reach the court till 4.30 pm, ASJ Harsimranjit Singh issued the warrant directing him to be present on the next date of hearing on March 18.
The 2018 case 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. The pastor also made an obscene video of her, she had alleged.
An FIR was registered at the Zirakpur police station on April 20, 2018, under various sections of the IPC and the IT Act. Apart from Bajinder Singh, five others (Pastor Jatinder, Pastor Akbar, Sattar Ali and Sandeep Pehelwan) were also booked in that case.
