[su_right_ad]Hundreds of followers were encouraged to be castrated.

Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh, an Indian 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.

One of his former followers who underwent castration seven years ago – named Hans Raj Chauhan – is one of the few to break the silence to speak out against him and the group.

“[The victims] were told that only those who get castrated will be able to meet God,” said Chauhan’s lawyer, Navkiran Singh, according to the Sydney Morning Herald

In January, MailOnline reported how Singh, the head of the Dera Sacha Sauda organisation, had hit back at the allegations. At a press conference for his new film he said: “Such allegations disturb me, when I am doing good for humanity. Therefore me and my legal advisor are going to move the court challenging the allegations.”

    In for a penny, in for a pound. Or as Stevie Wonder once said, when you believe in things that you don’t understand, then you suffer.

    Religion makes the gullible do goofy things. In Mexico, every year around Easter, people actually choose to be crucified (with nails to a piece of wood), to prove their faith. How strange is that?

      If I’m not mistaken, the Philippines has similar activities. Self flagellation, lots of blood, etc..

        …and I’ll bet these are the same people who would consider “removing testicles for God” a weird religious practice. Go figure.

    I was aware god needed money (all the preachers say so) but he can’t have my balls.

    I’d bet his are still intact and he won’t have the balls to remove them. Did I just contradict myself? Oops, sorry!

    Use protection when joining any organisation, especially those which take interest in your “Coin Purse”.
