Why was the office setup so scary?
Ashok Kharat, who calls himself Captain, had made his office such that people would really consider him a “tantrik”. Fake snakes, tiger skins and strange things were kept. The darkness and mysterious atmosphere in the room – all this was used to scare and impress people. The victims told that Baba used to adopt some special methods. This made people feel that he really had some power.
Were only women victims?
No, many rich men also visited him. They were cheated of lakhs of rupees in the name of getting them marriage or life partner. However, allegations of sexual exploitation of men have not surfaced. Police say that this case is not just about a person, but about the thinking in which people trust the wrong people due to fear and superstition.
