Punjab Police arrested a priest and self-styled healer from the Delhi international airport following a complaint from a woman in Zirakpur that he had raped her, said an official on Thursday.
Zirakpur station house officer (SHO) Pawan Kumar said the priest, Bajinder Singh, was arrested from the Delhi airport as he was about to board a flight for London where he was scheduled to attend a healing event on July 21.
Singh is the pastor of a church in Punjab’s Jalandhar district. He was reported to be popular among people as a healer.
The woman, a resident of Zirakpur town, adjoining Chandigarh, had complained to the police in May this year that Singh had sexually assaulted her and recorded a video of the assault.
She alleged the accused used to threaten her that he would post the video on social media if she complained against him or did not agree to his demands.
