Alwar: An eight-year-old girl who was bitten by a snake died after her parents took her to several tantriks (exorcists) instead of hospital in Dhaulpur district.
According to the police, the incident took place on Sunday in Bhawani Shankar Pura town of the district when the girl was going out of her house.
Wallowing in pain, the girl started screaming for the help.
The parents and villagers came to her help. They also tied the snake to a rope and packed him into a bag.
The parents, accompanied by a crowd of villagers took the girl to several tantriks instead of admitting her to the nearby government hospital.
According to an eye witness, somebody in the crowd suggested that the girl should be taken to a tantric Mohar Singh.
"Singh kept the body of the girl on a bed for three hours. He applied some paste and was reading out mantras. He promised to remove venom out of the girl's blood. But after three hours, the tantric declared that girl is dead," a villager said.
Surprisingly, Singh had turned a room of the Anganwadi center into his treatment center.
