An occultist was booked for allegedly raping a woman in Haryana’s Fatehabad in September last year.

In her complaint to the police, the woman said she was ill and her father took her to an occultist in a neighbouring village. “The occultist told my father that I had some problem and he will resolve it while visiting our home. Two days later, he came to my house and took me inside a room. He offered me some ash, after taking which I fall unconscious and he raped me. Then, the occultist asked me to visit after three days. When I visited his place, he showed me some obscene pictures clicked by him and assaulted me,” she added.
