MUMBAI: A 34-year-old tantrik was arrested for taking Rs 10,000 from his client to make a woman suspected of having an illicit relationship with her husband disappear.
Accused Vikas Uniyal had demanded a total of Rs 1.6 lakh from Nasreen F (33), promising to make the woman in her husbands life disappear in 13 days with his black magic, said a Kherwadi police officer.Uniyal was caught by the police patrolling team from Bandra (East) when Nasreens husband Ibrahim (35), who runs a furniture business, approached them for help after he noticed his wife being given advice by the accused.
Ibrahim learned about the tantrik and his offer to make a woman disappear when he received a call from one of his friends, an auto-rickshaw driver, alerting him that his wife had hired his vehicle to meet a tantrik near a restaurant in Bandra East.
I got the matter confirmed after my friend recorded the conversation between my wife and the tantrik.
I reached the spot and found my wife paying Rs10,000 to the man, said Ibrahim in his complaint to the police, adding that his wife had already spent around Rs 5 lakh on such occult practices.
