A horrifying incident has come to light from Bihar’s Muzaffarpur district. A 25-year-old woman who is Seven months pregnant was allegedly gang-raped by a self-proclaimed exorcist and his accomplices. The survivor had initially visited the tantrik on June 29, after experiencing persistent dizziness during pregnancy. Despite consulting doctors, her condition remained unchanged, and locals recommended an exorcist.

The pregnant woman was taken to the man’s house in Madhera village under the Siwaipatti police station limits. Following the checkup the accused claimed she needed spiritual cleansing over multiple sessions.

Repeated Assaults Behind Closed Doors

According to the police complaint, the woman’s father-in-law accompanied her to the exorcist’s house but was made to wait outside. Inside, the exorcist allegedly undressed and raped her. The accused claimed that it was part of the ritual. The woman initially stayed silent due to fear and societal pressure.

On the second visit, the accused raped her again. During the third visit, the exorcist, joined by two accomplices, reportedly gang-raped the victim. However, her health began to decline afterward, prompting her family to take her to Shree Krishna Medical College and Hospital (SKMCH).

Case Registered, Main Accused Arrested

According to reports, the incident was brought to the attention of police after the woman’s condition worsened. Based on her statement, the police registered a case, and the main accused has since been arrested. Siwaipatti police and local authorities have initiated further investigation into the case. The victim’s statement has been officially recorded, said OP in-charge Sarwari Khatoon.

Another case: Minor Girl Dies After Rape

In a separate and equally distressing case from Muzaffarpur, a minor girl was raped on May 26. The minor girl later died due to alleged medical negligence. The child was lured with a chocolate near her aunt’s residence and taken to a maize field, where she was sexually assaulted.

The girl was referred to Patna Medical College Hospital (PMCH) for urgent care, but her family alleged that she was forced to wait in an ambulance for nearly two hours. Despite registering her at the hospital, no immediate treatment was provided, and she died shortly thereafter.

Family Alleges Neglect, Demands Accountability

The girl’s uncle, Virendra Paswan, claimed that had PMCH admitted her without delay, she might have survived. The family is demanding a thorough investigation into the hospital’s conduct.

These incidents have raised serious concerns over the vulnerability of women and minors in rural areas, the unchecked influence of superstitions, and the failures of healthcare institutions. Public outrage continues to grow, with demands for swift justice, improved medical protocols, and action against those exploiting vulnerable communities under the guise of tradition.
