Ramgarh (Jharkhand), Nov 7 The police have arrested a man for allegedly trying to entice an issueless woman into physical intimacy, promising her a child through exorcism and amulets in Jharkhand’s Ramgarh district, an officer said on Saturday.
The 56-year-old man was arrested after the victim filed a complaint with the Bhurkunda police outpost on November 5.
The victim had earlier approached the accused, who was known for offering solutions to people’s problems through prayers and talismans intended to bring good fortune, the police officer said.
He had also given the woman a talisman.
“The man was arrested and sent to jail on Friday. The victim had filed a written complaint against him, accusing him of obscene talk and demanding physical intimacy on the pretext of providing a child through exorcism,” the police outpost in-charge, Shivlal Gupta, said.
According to the complaint, the accused made obscene talk with the victim on the phone on November 5, and when she rejected his demand, he allegedly threatened to get the woman and her husband killed.
An audio clip of their purported telephonic conversation went viral on social media.
Police said they are investigating the authenticity of the audio clip.
