An Indian-origin leader in Australia has been found guilty of heinous crimes against women. The case was so shocking that the judge reportedly struggled to find a comparable crime in New South Wales.
Balesh Dhankhar, a former leader and one of the founders of Overseas Friends of BJP, has been sentenced to 40 years in Australia for drugging and raping multiple women.

Dhankhar ran a sinister plan of posting fake job ads for Korean translators, luring women to a bar, drugging them, and taking them to his home or a hotel to rape and film them. Police found video evidence, along with date rape drugs in his home.
Yet the convict remains remorseless, shamelessly claiming he just “misinterpreted” consent. The judge called him out, saying he was “elaborately manipulative and highly predatory.”
