In Kanpur Dehat, a supposed tantrik ritual has tragically ended with murder. Rajababu, 26, obsessed with a married woman, paid Rs 2 lakh to Neelu, a self-styled tantrik, for rituals to win her affection. When the woman returned to her husband, Rajababu sought Neelu for a more potent ritual.
On November 24, Neelu led Rajababu to a field, where after heavy drinking, an argument ensued. Police allege Neelu fatally stabbed Rajababu when he collapsed from intoxication. To conceal the crime, Neelu tried to stage the scene as a suicide, stealing valuables and discarding evidence.
