On July 20, 2018, Singh, who runs a church at Majri, was arrested at the Delhi airport for 'raping' a Zirakpur woman. Police nabbed him when he just about to board a flight to London.
The victim had alleged that Singh came in contact with her in 2017 and lured her. Police said that she had become a part of his team of volunteers who looked after his event's security.
The victim alleged that Singh raped her at his Mohali house and even taped the act, later threatening to post the video online if she complained or did not comply with his demands. In April 2018, she finally filed a complaint against the pastor, following which Singh went into hiding.
