In an unusual case reported from Bihar in June this year, a woman reached the local police station at Aurangabad, accusing a man of “repeatedly raping her in her dreams” and seeking action against him. The police, in turn, even interrogated the man and subsequently released him on a personal bond.
Here’s What Happened!
The woman told SHO of Town police station, Anjani Kumar, that her “ordeal” started in January this year when she met the man, an occultist named Chaturvedi, at Kali Bari temple in Aurangabad for the treatment of her ailing son. Chaturvedi suggested that she should recite a “mantra” and perform certain rituals for speedy recovery of her son.
The woman informed the SHO,
I followed his instructions religiously, but lost my son after 15-days. After that, he started harassing me in my dreams. There had been occasions when he even raped me in my dreams.
Police Action
The police officer summoned the occultist at the police station to ascertain if the woman had ever visited him. A police officer said the occultist admitted that the woman had met her in the temple once. The ‘accused’ then shared with police,
What happened to her later is not known to me. She appears to be a bit depressed after losing her son.
The SHO justified to the media why he summoned the occultist. Kumar quoted,
I called the occultist to show the woman that action was being taken against him as she was adamant on her demand. Moreover, I had to verify the fact as well. We asked the man to fill personal bond just to convince the woman.
Under which section should we institute case against the man when the incident never happened?
Aurangabad deputy superintendent of police (headquarters) Lalit Narayan Pandey said prima facie the woman appeared to be mentally unsound. Speaking to TOI, he said,
The police officers are in touch with her relatives and have asked them to get her admitted for proper treatment.
