Cult Leader Who Claims To The Reincarnation Of Jesus Detained

 

Russian special force in the early hours of today, September 22, staged a special operation to detain him, Daily Mail reports.

The former traffic cop who now leads a sect in Siberia, claiming he is Jesus Christ, has been detained.

Sergei Torop - known as Vissarion - and his closest aide Vadim Redkin, a former rock musician, were reportedly detained and flown away under armed guard. 

Torop, 59, is a former Red Army conscript and traffic policeman who claimed he was reborn in 1990 as the literal reincarnation of the son of God. 

Russian agents carried out a large military-style operation with four helicopters and dozens of heavily armed troops storming the remote compound called Sun City.

The operation appeared to involve the Russian National Guard, a force under the command of Vladimir Putin, but also involved the FSB security service.

The Russian Investigative Committee said the sect was being probed for using "psychological violence" causing some followers "serious harm to their health."
