He won’t be “curing” anyone else anytime soon:
An Indian teenager took a knife to a so-called tantric who allegedly tried to rape her for a second time and cut off his penis.
The man, who is also the girl’s uncle, is currently being hunted by detectives who praised what they described as the young woman’s “courage”.
Police in the Madhepura district of Bihar said the young woman, believed to be aged either 17 or 18, had been raped last month by her uncle, who is known in the local area as a tantric and who performs rituals. When he allegedly tried to assault her a second time, she was prepared and had armed herself with a knife.
The girl then reported what had happened to a village council. When the council failed to tackle the matter to her satisfaction, the young woman contacted women police officers, located at the local station.
One report in the Indian media said the girl had been taken to see the tantric by her parents after she fell ill and that he was tasked with “curing” her.
For women raped in India, it appears that the recognized way to get justice is to take the ‘law’ into your own hands . . . so to speak.
