SURAT: Navsari cops pounced on a tantrik and two of his associates hiding in Nandurbar of Maharashtra on Saturday after the trio allegedly raped two sisters, one of them a minor, in Navsari’s Gandevi taluka.
Vishnu Maharaj alias Vishnu Chatur Naik, 50, a tantrik from Lakhapur village in Nandurbar was arrested along with his two aides including a driver on charges of rape and and impregnating both on Saturday.

Police revealed the heinous details and said that the father of these two sisters had come in contact with one Suresh Patel three months ago with whom he had discussed about the marital discord of his elder daughter.
Suresh informed him about Naik, who he said could resolve such issues with the help of black magic. Suresh also took the father and his elder daughter to Naik in Nandurbar.
According to the police, Naik demanded the father transfer him Rs 50,000 in his bank account so that he could perform exorcism to heal the victim and settle her in her married life. He also took the chance to rape the elder daughter several times in the name of exorcism and voodoo and also lured her minor sister in the name of getting her a good husband.
Deputy superintendent of police (DySP), Navsari HK Rana told TOI, “Following the father’s complaint on November 3, we arrested the tantrik and his two associates from Nandurbar.

Both the victims visited Nandurbar on several occasions after the tantrik provided a driver to ferry them to his place from Gandevi. The family came to know about their pregnancy only two months ago.”
The accused have been booked under various sections of IPC for rape and kidnapping as well as provisions of Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, said Rana, adding that the accused will be presented before the court on Monday.
(The victim's identity has not been revealed to protect her privacy as per Supreme Court directives on cases related to sexual assault)
