GORAKHPUR: Five persons were arrested after a video showing an exorcist performing a witchcraft to bring a dead boy back to life went viral on social media. Parents of the boy, who had died 23 days ago, had also joined the futile attempt of ‘tanktrik kriya’ performed overnight at their home in Pharenda of Maharajganj district on Thursday in hope of a miracle, said police.

Boy’s parents Ashok Kumar and Lilavati along with tantric Raj Bahadur Sahni, his wife Usha, and their associate Rajan were arrested by the police and sent to jail.
According to reports, 9-year old boy Shivam was suffering from a serious ailment and died during treatment at the government hospital on August 21. Being a minor, his body was buried near a forest some 3km away from his home. On September 14, the exorcist couple approached his parents and cited the power of exorcism as something which could even raise the dead man, following which Shivam’s parent dug his body out of grave and brought it to home for witchcraft.
SI Yashvant Singh said, “An FIR under IPC section 294 (obscene words in public) and 297(trespassing in burial place) has been registered against the accused and they all have been sent to jail.
