Three die after being drugged, looted by fake occultists in Bikaner
J
aipur: Three men died, and another is being treated after they were allegedly drugged by a gang posing as occult practitioners in the Khajuwala area of Bikaner Friday afternoon.
The gang convinced the four that they could double their money using black magic.
They allegedly served food laced with sedatives, causing the victims to lose consciousness, and then looted the house. Preliminary estimates suggest the gang stole cash and valuables worth Rs 45–50 lakh.
The incident came to light after Khajuwala police station received a report that Abdul Gaffar, a resident of Ward No. 16 in Khajuwala, fell unconscious under suspicious circumstances and later died during treatment.
His body was sent to the mortuary, and police who reached his residence found indications that occult practices took place. The area was sealed for investigation.
According to Ghaffar's family, two acquaintances—Shaitan Singh and his nephew Vikram Singh—brought the alleged tantriks to the house. Along with Abdul Ghaffar and Rajendra Singh, who was also known to him, they reportedly participated in the rituals.

Police suspect that all four men—Abdul Ghaffar, Shaitan Singh, Vikram Singh, and Rajendra Singh—were served poisoned food by the alleged tantriks. Only Vikram Singh and Shaitan Singh were initially taken to the hospital by Abdul Ghaffar's family.
Following leads provided by the family, police began a search for the two and eventually found their bodies in Muktaprasad, nearly 50 km from Abdul Ghaffar's home.
Investigators believe they may have consumed the poisoned food at the house and left, only to succumb to its effects later during their journey.
Police are exploring multiple angles, including the possibility that Shaitan Singh and Vikram Singh were complicit in the plan but were ultimately betrayed by the tantriks.

60yo man sent to jail for offering‘namaz' in temple complex in UP
Bareilly: A 60-year-old man was arrested under BNS section 298 -- "defiling a place of worship with intent to insult religion" -- and sent to jail on Sunday for allegedly offering 'namaz' inside a temple complex in Budaun. A widely circulated video of the man, identified as Ali Mohammad, purportedly praying in the religious premises has sparked outrage. The incident, which took place in Papad village under Dataganj limits, is said to be around two months old and it gained traction only after netizens started calling for his arrest. Dataganj circle officer KK Tiwari said, "An FIR has been registered against Ali. He has been arrested. Investigation has so far revealed that Ali was living for over two decades near the Brahmdev Maharaj temple complex. Someone recorded a video of him offering a prayer supposedly near a tree inside the premises and shared it online." Based on the clip, police have lodged an FIR and sent him to prison. The man's "provocative" action has angered a large section of the local population of the other community, police said. Meanwhile, Paratma Das, the temple's mahant, said, "Ali Mohammad had been visiting the temple complex for 35 years. He was also involved in cleaning and feeding cows, and even sometimes took part in 'aarti' and other rituals. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 2025 Top Trending Local Enterprise Accounting Software [Click Here] Accounting ERP Click Here Undo He looked disturbed of late, and I used to give him meals...

When confronted for his action, he had apologised, and the matter was forgotten, until this video surfaced, a local resident added. On Sept 18, 2023, a similar incident took place in Kesarpura village in Bareilly, where a mother and daughter offered prayers inside a temple complex. A case was registered against them and they were sent to jail. After 15 days in prison, they were granted bail and released.
