The viral pastor from Punjab’s Jalandhar, Bajinder Singh, has been booked for sexual harassment. The police have registered a case against him after a woman alleged that she was molested by the pastor. Singh, however, had denied the allegations claiming that the girl was suffering from an ‘evil spirit’ and and came to him for prayer.

Notably, Bajinder Singh claims to cure all kinds of diseases with the chant “Yeshu Yeshu.” He has a considerable social media following, with his content frequently appearing in YouTube Shorts and Instagram Reels. In one of his old viral videos, Singh claimed to have cured a speech anomaly in a mute girl who allegedly had been unable to speak since birth. 

In the video, the girl’s alleged younger brother can be seen crying and claiming that his sister, who was previously unable to speak, suddenly started talking after Singh “cured” her. The video has since become meme material on social media. Over the months, Bajinder Singh has been endorsed by several celebrities, including actors Chunky Pandey and Aditya Pancholi.
