  • 5 women killed for allegedly practising witchcraft in Jharkhand

    Five women were killed by locals at Kanjiya Maraitoli village under Mandar police station, 30km from here, on the outskirts of the state capital in the intervening night of Friday and Saturday for allegedly practising witchcraft. Jharkhand witnesses frequent killings in the name of witchcraft. According to an estimate over 1000 women have been killed in the last one decade in the state for allegedly practising witchcraft. Police sources said locals broke into a few houses around midnight when the women were asleep. They dragged out the five women they suspected to be playing black magic on their children. The assailants, which also reportedly included local women, took them away from their houses and killed them.

    Killing of 5 women on suspicion of witchcraft is most unfortunate. Death of children may be for some illness and should not be attributed to black magic.
