Gurbaksh Chahal, 34 had pleaded guilty to the charges of battery and domestic violence battery in 2014. A surveillance footage from Chahal’s San Francisco house had shown him kicking and punching his girlfriend and also trying to smother her with a pillow. Chahal had entered a plea to reduce his charges after the girl did not cooperate with authorities and it was said that the video could not be used as it was not obtained in a proper manner.
However, he was accused of violating his probation when he kicked another girlfriend. But she also, refused to cooperate with the authorities. The authorities also alleged that she had done a bogus marriage to come to America and had been drinking that night.
Judge Tracie Brown sentenced him to a year in prison for violating his probation order.
Chahal has maintained that both girls has cheated on him.
Not only this, Chahal’s two former employees have accused him of discrimination and said that he was a bullying boss. Those employees have sued him for his conduct against them.
Chahal made $US300milion in 2007 when he sold his digital advertising company to Yahoo. He has also appeared on the Oprah Winfrey Show which promoted him as a highly eligible bachelor.
