Gurdaspur, Punjab \u2014 April 5, 2025<\/strong>: The Punjab Police is once again under intense scrutiny, this time for alleged inaction in a shocking case involving self-styled pastor Jashan Gill<\/strong>, who is accused of raping a 22-year-old woman, impregnating her, and forcing an unsafe abortion<\/strong> that led to her untimely death. The victim\u2019s father is now demanding a CBI inquiry<\/strong>, alleging that the pastor bribed the police to evade arrest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The woman, a BCA student from Abul Khair village in Gurdaspur district<\/strong>, reportedly fell prey to the pastor during regular visits to his church. According to her father, Pastor Jashan repeatedly raped her under false pretenses<\/strong>, ultimately forcing her to undergo an abortion carried out by an unqualified nurse in Khokhar village<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“The abortion was done negligently. She developed severe complications, complained of stomach pain, and was rushed to a hospital. An ultrasound revealed that she had undergone an abortion. She later died during treatment in an Amritsar hospital,” the grieving father told ANI.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Family Alleges Police Inaction and Intimidation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Despite the incident occurring in 2023<\/strong>, the father alleges that no arrest has been made<\/strong>, and Jashan Gill continues to roam free<\/strong>. He has accused the Punjab Police of corruption<\/strong>, claiming they were bribed by the pastor to delay or bury the case<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He further added that he had received multiple death threats<\/strong>, forcing him to flee his village<\/strong>. In his pursuit of justice, he has approached the Punjab and Haryana High Court<\/strong>, demanding a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“The Punjab Police has failed us. I want justice for my daughter. I\u2019ve received threats and now live in fear,” he said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Pattern of Allegations Against Self-Styled Pastors in Punjab<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This case comes just days after a Mohali court sentenced self-proclaimed pastor Bajinder Singh to life imprisonment<\/strong> in a separate 2018 sexual assault case<\/strong>, indicating a disturbing pattern of abuse by religious figures in Punjab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Bajinder Singh case had similarly involved a complaint from a woman who was allegedly assaulted after a prayer meeting, underscoring concerns over the abuse of religious influence and trust<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Public Outrage and Calls for Accountability<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The growing number of cases involving religious leaders misusing their positions<\/strong> has led to public outrage and increased calls for strict oversight, accountability, and timely justice<\/strong>. Human rights activists and women’s safety groups have also begun demanding judicial monitoring<\/strong> of such cases, especially where there is alleged police inaction or bias<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
