Women were trapped in the name of astrology?
According to the police FIR, the accused used to call women to his office on the pretext of providing solutions to their personal problems like marriage, family or health. As soon as the women reached there, it is alleged that they were given intoxicants, due to which they became weak or unconscious. After this, they were mentally weakened by using fear and superstition. Especially by showing fear like “death of husband” or “tantric influence”, they were forced to remain silent.
