Balesh Dhankhar, a prominent Indian-Australian community leader, has been sentenced to 40 years in prison by an Australian court for the premeditated rapes of five Korean women. The Downing Centre District Court imposed a non-parole period of 30 years on March 7. Dhankhar, a former IT consultant, lured victims aged 21 to 27 through fake job ads, drugging and assaulting them in Sydney. Found guilty of 39 offenses, including 13 counts of rape, his crimes were deemed manipulative and highly predatory. Dhankhar previously led a BJP-linked group and served as a Hindu Council spokesperson before his 2018 arrest.
