In a chilling incident that exposes the dark underbelly of superstition in modern times, a man brutally assaulted his wife, claiming her “black magic” was preventing them from having a male child. The sheer brutality of the attack has sent shockwaves through the neighborhood. The victim is currently battling for her life in a hospital, while the husband has been taken into police custody.

Reports suggest that the couple has daughters, but the husband was desperate for a son. Influenced by a local occultist (Ojha), the man began suspecting his wife of practicing witchcraft. The tantrik allegedly convinced him that the wife’s supposed “rituals” were the reason behind their “failure” to conceive a boy. What followed was a series of mental and physical abuses that culminated in a near-fatal attack last night.

Neighbors who rushed to the spot after hearing blood-curdling screams described a scene of absolute horror. “We saw her lying in a pool of blood while he stood there without any remorse,” said an eyewitness. The victim was immediately rushed to the emergency ward, where doctors stated that she had sustained multiple severe injuries across her body.

During the police interrogation, the accused husband confessed to his crime, admitting that he acted on the instructions of the occultist. This incident serves as a grim reminder that despite scientific advancements, deep-rooted superstitions and the influence of fraudulent godmen continue to destroy lives. The police have launched a manhunt for the tantrik involved, while activists demand stricter laws against such superstitious practices that target women.
