B’luru cops begin investigation after businessman alleges wife performed black magic to harm him
Bengaluru: A 38-year-old businessman has made disturbing allegations, claiming that his wife and her parents engaged in black magic rituals in their home with the intent to harm him and his family. The Cubbon Park police have initiated an investigation into the matter under the Karnataka Prevention and Eradication of Inhuman Evil Practices and Black Magic Act, 2017.
The businessman, who goes by the name Sanjay (name changed), resides in an apartment located on Rest House Road, off Church Street. He reported that he married Dr. Kalpana (name changed), aged 35, on June 1, 2022. The situation took a bizarre turn on February 22, 2023, when Sanjay returned home from a business trip to discover his wife had cut both her thumbs. She was allegedly sprinkling the blood from her thumbs onto a mixture of ash, camphor, and coconut spread in the bathroom. Additionally, lemon pieces were found strewn in various areas, and signs of a puja (ritual) were evident in both the bathroom and several corners of the house.
Sensing that something was amiss, Sanjay enlisted the services of a detective agency to investigate the situation further. The agency's report allegedly revealed that his wife and her parents had consulted with an astrologer from Attiguppe and a priest known for performing rituals in graveyards.
On June 22, Sanjay's wife went to her parental home. Upon her return, she was accused of adding various oils, ash, and even saliva to the food prepared by their cook at their marital home. This tainted food was unknowingly consumed by Sanjay and other family members. Fearing for their safety, Sanjay and his family decided to send Kalpana back to her parental home. Sanjay's mother successfully managed to do so on July 5.
Sanjay has raised concerns that his father has been bedridden for several days, and their family dog passed away a few months ago, suspecting these developments may be linked to the alleged black magic practices.
A senior police officer disclosed that the complaint was filed on Saturday evening, and an investigation into the matter will commence promptly.

3 held, hunt on for 4 accomplices after they kidnap, assault and urinate on man in Bhopal
Bhopal (PTI): Police have registered a case against seven persons and arrested three of them for allegedly kidnapping, assaulting and urinating on a 22-year-old man in Madhya Pradesh capital Bhopal, officials said on Thursday.
The incident occurred during the intervening night of April 26 and 27 in an area located under the Hanumanganj police station limits, an official said.
One of the accused urinated on the face of the victim and captured a video of the act, which was later circulated on social media to humiliate him, he said.
"A complaint in this connection was lodged by Jaswant Markam (22), a resident of Kamla Nagar, based on which a case was registered against seven persons under sections of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and police have arrested three of them, including one Prem Thapa," Bhopal Police Commissioner Sanjay Kumar said.
Three police teams have been formed and the remaining suspects will be apprehended soon, he said.
During the intervening night of Sunday and Monday, Markam was at the local bus stand with a friend when around 4 am, the accused took him away on the pretext of discussing something with him. They asked him about his neighbour and friend Aniket. When he refused to provide any information, they started assaulting him, the police said.
The accused then took him to a forest in Karond area, where he was stripped and severely thrashed, they said.
When the man began to lose consciousness, one of the accused urinated on his face and made a video of the act, which was circulated on social media to humiliate him and spread terror, according to the police.
The accused called Markam's friend around 5 am to inform him about his condition. The victim was subsequently admitted to a hospital, the officials said, adding that the viral video was also being investigated.
Responding to a query, Hanumanganj police station in-charge Awdhesh Bhadoria said if the victim was found to be from the tribal community, then relevant sections will be invoked against the accused.
At present, the police are probing the incident and search is on to arrest the remaining accused, he added.
In 2023, a man had urinated on a tribal youth in Sidhi district of Madhya Pradesh. A video of the incident had gone viral on social media platforms and created a controversy.
