Nashik Woman Loses ₹77,000 In Fake Occult Ritual

A woman from Valsad in Gujarat was allegedly cheated of ₹77,000 by a self-styled occult practitioner in Nashik. The practitioner, Vishal Ramdas Khadangale, promised to help the woman marry her boyfriend through an occult ritual.

The woman had been in a relationship with her boyfriend, Jitu Pawar, for four years, but he refused to marry her. She then came into contact with Khadangale, who assured her that he could arrange the marriage.

As part of the ritual, an occult ceremony was conducted at the Amardham crematorium in Nashik at midnight. The woman was allegedly thrown ashes from a cremated body, lemons, and puffed rice during the ritual. Khadangale collected ₹77,000 from her in exchange for performing the ritual.

However, when the marriage did not take place even after the ritual, the woman realised that she had been cheated. She demanded her money back, but faced threats and physical assault from Khadangale and his associate.

The woman then approached the Maharashtra Andhashraddha Nirmoolan Samiti (MANS) and lodged a complaint at Bhadrakali Police Station. A case has been registered under the anti-superstition and black-magic law along with other relevant sections.

The police arrested both Khadangale and his associate, Jitu Pawar, in connection with the case. The Maharashtra Andhashraddha Nirmoolan Samiti worked to ensure legal action against the accused and justice for the victim.

The incident has caused a stir across the city, highlighting the need for awareness about such scams. The Maharashtra Andhashraddha Nirmoolan Samiti has been working to eradicate superstition and promote scientific thinking in the state.

The arrest of the accused is a significant step towards bringing such fraudsters to justice. The incident serves as a warning to people to be cautious of such scams and not to fall prey to false promises.

The woman's experience is a reminder of the importance of being aware of one's surroundings and not to trust strangers easily. It is also a testament to the work of organisations like the Maharashtra Andhashraddha Nirmoolan Samiti, which are working to promote scientific thinking and eradicate superstition.

In conclusion, the incident highlights the need for awareness and caution when dealing with strangers and their promises. It is essential to be vigilant and not to fall prey to such scams, and to support organisations that work towards promoting scientific thinking and eradicating superstition.
