Sreejith.
Police said he had been casting spells at various places and harassing her since August, claiming she was in distress. Fatima is an employee of an IT company. It was customary for him to walk with his wife and chant Anish mantras to get rid of their evil deeds. Anish told him that the djinn had entered his body and it was necessary to evacuate him. In this name, witches were brought home with the help of relatives.
When the woman objected to the witchcraft being carried out in the house, the accused tied her up, beat her, dragged her and brutally abused her. Afterwards, she Fatima sought treatment in the hospital. Witches came to the house three times to remove the plague. Anish and her relatives forced the young woman to undergo the ceremony. When neighbors inquired about it, the defendant spread a rumor that Fatima was insane. After this Anish and Fatima moved to Adikatkulangara. There too the witchcraft and harassment continued.
On the last day three people again came from Kulathupuzha for magic. The woman who resisted was brutally beaten by her husband and her relatives Shahina and Shibu. A crippled Fatima reached Nooranad police station in a life-threatening condition. Aneesh, her relatives and sorcerers were strategically summoned to another place and arrested.
