Bhilwara: In the Rama village that falls under Raipur Tehsil, Lehri, a 75-year-old has been taking the rounds of police stations and administration after her family declared her a “witch” and planned to ostracize her from the village.
It all began when Lehri’s brother-in-law’s son Narayana died of cancer after which the deceased’s wife has been accusing Lehri of being a witch. Following this, for every misshaping in the family, the members would accuse Lehri.
Soon the whole village turned against Lehri and whenever she is seen outside, people beat her.
