Little was revealed about Abahla in his single minor appearance. As a native resident of New Delhi, which has a population that is over 80% Hindu, one can reasonably guess that the character is Hindu as well.
In a conflict between the mercenary assassin Deadpool and the mutant villain Tolliver (Tyler Dayspring), Deadpool slaughtered everybody in a New Delhi townhouse that had belonged to Tolliver - everybody except Abahla. Deadpool held a sword to Abahla's throat and threatened him while asking for Tolliver's files. Abahla readily handed the files over Deadpool, allowing him to locate the last known address of Vanessa Carlyle (Copycat).
It's not really even clear that Abahla should be regarded as a "villain", per se. He was guarding the home of the villain Tolliver, but this may simply have been a job he was hired to do. Furthermore, the only character he came into slight conflict with - Deadpool - is more of an anti-hero than a hero. So we are classifying the hapless Abahla as a supporting character rather than a villain/antagonist.
