A ritual intended for healing tragically culminated in murder in Jharkhand's West Singhbhum district. A 24-year-old man, identified as Ponde Ram Angaria, is accused of slitting the throat of 42-year-old self-proclaimed exorcist Gora Angaria.
The fatal incident occurred on Tuesday night during an exorcism ritual at Ponde Ram's house. His family had arranged the ceremony due to his unusual behavior. Following the ritual, as the exorcist and village guard remained, Ponde Ram allegedly attacked the sleeping Gora Angaria with a knife around 4:30 AM.
Ponde Ram Angaria fled the scene immediately after the attack. Police were notified and have taken custody of the body for a post-mortem examination. Raids are underway to apprehend the accused, with the exact motive for the killing yet to be determined by authorities.
