MUMBAI: A woman who claims to be a spiritual guru from slum pockets of transit camp at Parksite at Vikhroli has been booked for alleged exploitation under the guise of exorcism, and invocation of the Human Sacrifice and Other Inhuman, Evil and Aghori Practices and Black Magic Act and cheating of Rs 5 lakhs under pretext of curing a woman undergoing mental treatment.Parksite Police have booked a woman self-proclaimed tantrik, identified as Mehjabeen Rais Khan alias Hazrat (Mariam), age 38 and are looking for him.The complaint was filed by Sunil Yashwant Salvi (48), a resident of Sagarnagar, Vikhroli, who accused Mariam of defrauding his mentally ill sister-in-law, Dipti Salvi, and manipulating the family into handing over nearly Rs 3 lakh worth of gold ornaments. Dipti and her husband Anil Salvi had been consulting Mariam for supposed black magic remedies for Dipti’s condition. Mariam allegedly told Salvi that one woman has committed suicide in their area and Dipti owed her money and hence the deceased’s spirit is troubling her. She also extracted huge sums of money for sacrificing a goat and doing other rituals.Using this fear tactic involving stories of ghosts and curses, Mariam allegedly coerced their daughter, Riddhi Salvi, into stealing family jewelry from their home. Salvi stated that Mariam claimed the ornaments were required to “remove the ghost” from Dipti’s body, and repeatedly summoned the girl and her father to deliver valuables.Police have registered a case under sections of cheating and the Maharashtra Human Sacrifice and Black Magic Act. Investigations are ongoing to determine if more victims or accomplices are involved in the racket.
