Bakersfield Baby Tragedy Finally Closed

A chilling case finally closes as Bakhshinderpal Singh Mann, 31, sentenced to six years — effectively time served — for his role in the drowning and burial of a newborn in Bakersfield. Mann pleaded no contest to charges including impregnating a 15-year-old girl, possessing explicit photos, and being an accessory. His Canadian custody time counts toward his sentence, after he was extradited in late 2024. The tragedy began when the teen gave birth at home; her grandmother, Beant Dhillon, drowned the infant out of shame, with Mann allegedly helping bury the body. The teen’s father was also involved in the cover-up. The mother was misled into believing her baby was adopted. Months later, the teen revealed the truth to counselors after a family argument, leading to the discovery of decomposed remains. The father, Jagsir Singh, died by suicide after arrest. Dhillon now serves 29 years to life for murder. With Mann’s sentencing, this dark chapter ends — a sobering reminder of how shame and secrecy can destroy lives.
