And the person who allegedly influenced this group was Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh, a spiritual leader slash movie star who has 50 million followers worldwide.
The socio-spiritual organization is called Dera Sacha Sauda.
According to witnesses, the very painful procedure was conducted at a hospital owned by Singh’s org in the early 2000. However, members are now coming out for the first time following the grievous bodily harm accused by India’s Central Bureau of Investigation to Singh.
The man deemed as ‘the guru in bling’ has an estimated net worth of $40 million and has also starred in different films.
The lawyer of the victims said the preacher told them,
only those who get castrated will be able to meet God.
It was not the first time Singh was involved in controversies. In 2002, he was charged with conspiracy following the murder of an investigative journalist. And several female followers have accused him of sexual assault but he was never convicted.
