The Chief Judicial Magistrate Court in Sopore, Kashmir, has sentenced self-proclaimed faith healer Aijaz Ahmad Sheikh, known as “Pir Baba,” to 14 years of rigorous imprisonment for systematically sexually abusing minors under the guise of spiritual healing. Convicting him under Section 377 of the Ranbir Penal Code (RPC), the court ruled that Sheikh exploited his religious authority to manipulate and assault victims. The case surfaced in 2016 when a minor disclosed years of abuse, leading to an investigation that uncovered crimes spanning 2012-2016. Rejecting the defense’s claim of financial enmity, the court emphasised that victim testimonies were “consistent, cogent, and unshaken.” Coimbatore Shocker: 5 Including 4 Minor Boys Rape 2 Schoolgirls, Schoolboy in Pollachi After Watching Porn Videos, Film Act; Arrested.
