Lalitpur,June 5
In Sarlahi, Deuli Kunwar (40) of Danuwarbasti Hariwan-4, was assaulted yesterday and forcefed human excreta for practising witchcraft by her neighbour Sheetal Dhami for casting a spell on the spirit of his sister-in-law Chandriya, who committed suicide two years ago.
‘He yanked me out of the house to a public place, sheared my hair on four sides and forced me to eat human excreta,’ Deuli said. Deuli’s family has been displaced from the village and is taking shelter at the area police office. They are trying to send the family back to the village, police said. None of the villagers bothered to stop the attacker, deuli recounted.
According to Debak Mahato, a local, Dhami, Prabin Choudhari, Laxmikanta Danuwar and Bahuwa Dhami, among others, had decided to take revenge on Kunwar for Chandriya’s suicide. While assaulting her mother Somani, who is nine months pregnant was also injured. S has been taken to Birgunj-based Narayani Sub-regional Hospital after preliminary treatment at the local Namuna Hospital.
