AHMEDABAD: A 28-year-old woman from the Juhapura area of city on Wednesday filed a complaint with Vejalpur police alleging that a witch doctor had tried to force her to have sex with him when she approached him seeking his “auspicious blessings to have a child”.
When she moved a plea against the accused witchdoctor Imtiyaz Shaikh before police, his three brothers thrashed her husband, she alleged in her FIR.
She stated in the FIR that as she did not have a child after eight years of her marriage life, she was seeking various remedies to become a mother. On advice of her friends, she went to Imtiyaz asking for some help so that she could conceive.
“On August 7, Imtiyaz came to my house and I told him that I could not become a mother. Having heard this, he straightaway told me that I would have to have sex with some other man to bear a child,” she alleged in the FIR.
She alleged, “He further told me to come with him to a hotel to have sex so that I would become the mother of a child.” The woman told her family members about the indecent demands of the accused and they approached cops and gave an application to file a complaint against him.
But police did not take action against him. Then his three brothers rushed to the complainant’s house and began abusing her. When her husband intervened, they thrashed him badly.
After this, she called up police and filed a complaint of sexual harassment, causing hurt and criminal intimidation against the witchdoctor and three others with Vejalpur police.
