It is alleged that the tantrik, accompanied by several associates, arrived at the woman’s house late at night in a Scorpio vehicle, entered the premises, and began behaving inappropriately. When the woman resisted, the accused attempted to forcibly remove her clothes. Neighbors rushed to the scene after the victim raised an alarm; the accused then fled with his associates, threatening the woman and her family with death. The incident has sparked outrage in the area.
According to reports, the incident occurred late at night. It is alleged that the tantrik arrived at the woman’s home in a Scorpio vehicle with several associates. Before anyone could comprehend the situation, he barged directly into the house. Finding the woman alone, he allegedly grabbed her and began engaging in indecent acts. Startled by the sudden turn of events, the woman resisted the accused.
The victim alleges that her resistance made the accused even more aggressive, and he attempted to forcibly strip her. She kept screaming for help. Hearing her cries, neighbors and local residents immediately rushed to the spot. Seeing the crowd approaching, the accused panicked and tried to flee.
Eyewitnesses stated that locals attempted to apprehend the accused and his associates, but they managed to escape in the Scorpio. As they fled, they threatened the woman and her family with dire consequences and death. The victim’s family is in a state of panic following the incident.
A crowd gathered in the area as news of the incident spread. Locals strongly condemned the act and demanded the immediate arrest of the accused. People remarked that had the neighbors not arrived in time, the situation could have taken a much more serious turn.
The victim and her family informed the police about the incident. Upon receiving the complaint, the police inspected the scene and initiated an investigation. The police are scrutinizing footage from nearby CCTV cameras to identify the accused and track their movements. Information regarding the Scorpio vehicle involved is also being gathered.

All aspects of the case are being investigated thoroughly, and a search for the accused is underway based on available evidence. Officials have assured that once the culprits are identified, strict legal action will be taken against them.
This incident has once again raised serious questions regarding women’s safety. Locals argue that the administration needs to maintain special vigilance over situations where individuals gain access to people’s homes by claiming to be tantriks (occultists). Stern action must be taken against those who exploit superstition to commit crimes, ensuring such incidents do not recur in the future.
Social organizations have also expressed concern over the incident, demanding measures to ensure women’s safety and calling for swift action against the perpetrators. They emphasize the need for rapid investigations and speedy justice in cases involving indecency or violence against women to maintain public confidence in the legal system.
