Jump to Comments

A woman in India was tied to a tree and beaten by a mob after being accused of being a witch. A journalist in the area who filmed the mob beating reported the incident to the police.

When Nishant Tiwari, a police official in northeastern India arrived at the scene he found the woman with her hair partially cut and her face reddened by the slaps of the mob. Thankfully her injuries were not serious.

Six people were arrested including a man who had hired her for her services as a witch. They are due to appear before a magistate on Friday.

Ram Ayodhya had hired the woman to improve his ailing wife’s health. When his wife’s condition worsened he accused her of black magic.

The police were disturbed that the journalist called only after filming the incident instead of before.
