No person has been arrested so far in connection with the case.
According to the police, the woman was physically and mentally tortured by her husband and in-laws. Her in-laws kept her ornaments given to her by her parents and documents of the flat in the bank and made fake signatures and took a loan of Rs 75 lakh. The woman’s husband also performed a pooja suggested by the mantrik to ensure a peaceful atmosphere in the house and progress in his business.
The woman’s husband and in-laws took her to Raigad and told her to have a bath in front of everyone, as per the instructions of the mantrik. After the woman lodged a complaint, the police immediately filed a case.
Senior PI Jagannath Kalaskar is conducting a probe into the case. After the news of the incident spread, it sparked an angry reaction. The reputation of Pune as a progressive city has been tarnished as the late Dr Narendra Dabholkar, who was the chairman of the Superstition Eradication Committee, was based in Pune.
