The clip further shows Singh attacking a woman who had visited his office with her child. As she confronted him, Singh slapped her, escalating tensions inside the room. Staff members present at the scene attempted to defuse the situation, but the altercation grew intense. The incident has raised serious concerns about the pastor’s conduct, especially as it comes at a time when he is already embroiled in legal trouble.

Just days before the video surfaced, the Kapurthala Police registered an FIR against Singh on charges of sexual harassment, stalking, and criminal intimidation. The complainant, a 22-year-old woman, alleged that Singh had inappropriately touched her, made advances since she was 17, and pressured her to marry him despite her being already married.

Singh has dismissed the allegations, claiming that another pastor orchestrated a “scandal” to malign him. His followers, meanwhile, remain divided, with some defending him and others expressing disillusionment over his behavior. This isn’t the first time Singh has been in the news for controversy, but the violent nature of this viral clip has intensified scrutiny on him.

The 42-year-old pastor heads the Church of Glory and Wisdom, which operates churches in Jalandhar and New Chandigarh. Over the years, Singh has gained a massive following through his viral faith-healing sermons, often accompanied by the chant “Mera Yashu Yashu”. However, this latest controversy threatens to overshadow his influence as a spiritual leader.

With multiple allegations and a widely circulated video of him physically assaulting people, the pressure is mounting on law enforcement authorities to take strict action against Bajinder Singh. As public outrage grows, all eyes are now on how the Punjab Police and religious groups respond to the unfolding situation.
