An Indian man- Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh, a pop-star and telepreacher with a reported wealth of more than $50 million, is being investigated after he allegedly manipulated around 400 men to get their testicles removed – according to India Today.
He has been accused of encouraging hundreds of followers to be castrated in a promise for them to become closer to God.
It seems people’s desire to get close to God or the alternative eternal happiness of heaven is not only pushing them to hurt others through attacks but also to hurt themselves by removing their own balls.
One of his former followers who underwent castration seven years ago – named Hans Raj Chauhan, 35, – is one of the few to break the silence to speak out against him and the group.
What doctrine could be so powerful to the extent that it can convince a man to permit castration on himself—pretty shocking, I must confess…
