Four Men Caught Trying Tantric Spell on Chhattisgarh Chief Justice
Some men in a village in India thought they could use magic to help a family member get out of jail.
Four of them went to a cremation ground late at night, a place where bodies are burned.
They placed a photograph of an important judge in the middle of a strange ceremony.
They believed the ritual would make the judge agree to let their relative out on bail.
The relative was in prison because of a serious stabbing case.
Villagers noticed the strange activity and surrounded the group.
Three men ran away in the dark, but the villagers caught one man named Rishikesh Kumar and handed him to the police.
Police found items like fish, lemons, coconuts, and red powder at the spot.
The man said an online magic expert had shown them the ritual in a video.
Police say magic cannot win bail and are looking for the others involved.
Four men attempted a midnight tantric ritual over a photograph of Chhattisgarh High Court Chief Justice Ramesh Sinha at a cremation ground in Deori village, Bilaspur district.
The ceremony aimed to secure a favourable bail order for Priyanshu Bole, a relative arrested in a stabbing case whose bail application was pending.
Villagers caught the group mid-ritual; Rishikesh Kumar was apprehended and handed to police while three accomplices fled.
Police recovered fish, lemons, vermilion, coconuts and photographs of the Chief Justice, Bole and the stabbing victim at the spot.
Police are hunting the three fugitives and an online tantrik who reportedly taught the ritual through a video on social media.
