Superstition became the reason for crime in Mathura
India may be touching the heights of 21st century in the field of science and technology, but a large part of the society is still in the grip of superstitions. A horrifying example of this has come to light in Naujheel police station area of ​​Mathura district of Uttar Pradesh, where a woman suffering from the pain of not having a child took refuge with an alleged tantrik and a serious crime was committed against her.
According to the police, the 35-year-old woman has been married for eight years, but she was deprived of the happiness of having a child. Due to this pain, she came in contact with 45-year-old alleged tantrik Mushtaq Ali on Saturday, who claimed that he would help the woman conceive with his tantric powers. After winning the confidence of the woman, the accused raped her2.
Additional Superintendent of Police (Rural) Suresh Chandra Rawat said that a case has been registered against accused Mushtaq Ali under Section 63 (rape) of the Indian Penal Code and other sections. At present, the accused is absconding and police teams are searching for him.
This incident not only highlights the inhuman treatment meted out to a woman, but also shows how superstition can give rise to crime in society. Such cases make it clear that lack of awareness and education is still trapping people in the trap of false claims and fake tantriks.
