BAHAWALNAGAR: The Mandi Sadiq Ganj police let two faith healers off the hook hours after they were handed over to them after being thrashed for allegedly killing a man during ‘exorcism’ on Saturday night.
Reports said the family of Abdul Rasheed (a labourer) said to be an asthmatic, suspected that he was possessed. They sent for faith healers Jameel, a resident of Mandi Sadiq Ganj, and Abbas (Arifwala) at their house at Mohallah Nizampura. Eyewitnesses said the faith healers severely beat Rasheed and when he cried due to pain, they declared it an integral part of exorcism.
