An additional five women came forward with accusations of sexual assault by Bindra for matters dating back to 2017.

His original charges were one count of housebreaking, one count of commit sexual assault, and two counts of sexual assault.

This was in relation to a reported incident on February 7/8, 2020, where Bindra met two women at a bar. A short time later, the 18-year-old woman began feeling unwell.
