Meanwhile, in a deeply disturbing incident just days after self-styled pastor Bajinder Singh was sentenced to life in a 2018 rape case, another pastor from Punjab’s Gurdaspur district is now facing serious allegations. Jashan Gill, also a self-proclaimed pastor, has been accused of raping a 22-year-old woman and reportedly forcing her into an unsafe abortion that tragically led to her death. The woman’s father has alleged that his daughter, a BCA student at the time, was “misled” by Gill. The case has sparked outrage and calls for justice.
