A woman in Kot Sultan area of Layyah had her feet burnt after a fake Pir made her stand on burning coal for the purpose of exorcism, reported 24NewsHD TV channel on Monday.
Allah Wasaya, Ruqayya Bibi’s cousin, said that Ijaz Hussain had been called to pray for her as she was mentally deranged.
“But instead of praying for her, Ijaz locked her in a room where she was made to stand on burning coal. When she screamed, we went inside the room. But by that time, the Pir had fled,” he explained.
On the other hand, Dr Sadiq, MS at a local hospital, said that the woman’s feet had been burnt completely, while the police said that they had launched a manhunt and the suspect would soon be in their custody.
