The ladies was subjected to torture to allegedly do away with “evil spirit”, stated police (Representational)
Kota:
A self-proclaimed exorcist and his aides allegedly labelled a 50-year-old lady as “dayen” (witch), tied her to a tree, chopped her hair, blackened her face and tortured her with a scorching iron rod for 2 days to “free” her from “evil spirit” in Rajasthan’s Bundi district, police stated on Friday.
Nandubai Meena, a resident of Shahapura district, was subjected to inhuman torture for 2 days on the place of worship of an area deity close to Gudagokulpura village within the Hindoli police station space, Bundi Superintendent of Police Rajendra Kumar Meena stated.
Meena was subjected to torture to do away with the “evil spirit” that possessed her, allegedly inflicting hurt to her maternal niece who married within the village, the SP stated.
On receiving data, police rescued the lady on Friday and lodged a case towards Babulal, the self-proclaimed exorcist, and his two aides primarily based on the sufferer’s assertion, the officer stated.
Nevertheless, the relations of the sufferer claimed that the incident befell a couple of days again and so they reported it to the police on November 27, but no immediate motion was taken within the matter.
In addition they cited a one-minute purported video clip of the incident, claiming the accused tortured Meena with the assistance of some locals on the pretext of being below the “spell” of the deity.
Clarifying the matter, Deputy Superintendent of Police (Hindoli Circle) Ajit Meghwanshi stated the sufferer submitted a report back to the police on November 27 after which she returned to her residence in Shahapura district.
Simply when the police have been searching for Meena to report her assertion, her relations shared the purported video clip with the native media on Friday, prompting the cops to find the lady and ship her for medical examination, the DSP stated.
“The police filed a case within the matter on Friday night and detained Babulal for interrogation. Efforts are on to nab the opposite accused individuals,” the officer stated.
