The Russian Police have arrested a self acclaimed Jesus, Sergei Torop.
The impostor claims to be the reincarnation of Jesus. Torop, 59 is former traffic police officer who has been running a cult based organization in Siberia for the past three decades.
International media reported that choppers and security operatives stormed communities run by Torop, aka Vissarion, and arrested him and two of his aides.
They are Vadim Redkin, a former drummer in a Soviet-era boy band, and Vladimir Vedernikov.
Torop lost his job as a traffic officer in 1989 and founded the Church of the Last Testament in 1991.
He said in 2002, “I am not God. And it is a mistake to see Jesus as God. But I am the living word of God the father. Everything that God wants to say, he says through me.”
He would be charged with organising an illegal religious organisation and extortion of money from followers.
