| Controversies | • Allegations of Rape Against the Nephew of ‘Guruji’ [1]National Herald India Allegedly, Navdeep Singh, who is also known as Gaurav and is the nephew of ‘Guruji,’ was accused in 2021 of sexually assaulting a woman named Asha. Asha claims that she met Gaurav at the temple with her family in 2013, and he gradually began to pay more attention to her.Reportedly, in March 2019, Gaurav called Asha to discuss a dream he had about her and the future of the sect. He requested Asha to meet him on April 4, 2019 and sent his vehicle to pick her up. Asha was allegedly taken to a farmhouse near the temple where Gaurav told her that Guruji had appeared in his dream and told him that Asha was destined to be his wife and bear a male child to continue Guruji’s legacy. Gaurav allegedly gave Asha a drugged religious offering that made her feel lifeless and lightheaded. Then, he conducted a ‘marriage’ ceremony by chanting shlokas in front of a ‘havan’ before allegedly raping her in another room. Over the next several months, Gaurav allegedly took Asha to the farmhouse or a nearby hotel, where he promised her that his divorce would be finalized soon. In September 2019, Asha’s husband asked her about her frequent visits outside the home, and she revealed her relationship with Gaurav. Her husband applied for a divorce, and when Gaurav found out that Asha had informed her husband, he reportedly began to avoid her and later threatened her. Asha approached the Vikas Puri police station on September 5, 2020, after recovering from the alleged ordeal, to register a complaint. The final verdict is still pending, and these are all allegations. |
