After 2 snakebite deaths black magicians exploit villagers
Updated on Jul 17, 2012 06:48 pm IST
Two residents of Diwari village in Darbhanga district of Bihar have died of snakebite, and some 20 others are grievously ill. But the superstitious villagers have more faith in the 'ojha' (black magician) rather than doctors. These gullible folk believe that those who are ill have been stricken by 'vishappa'. According to the 'ojha', when a snake bites someone, its venom starts travelling around and enters the bodies of others
