When I heard about stripping, some beating, and hot iron rods I thought that my dominatrix was back from her vacation. Unfortunately for a woman in Jharkland, India though it was all about the death and not about the fun. It seems that being a witch in Jharkland is a bad idea.
Basdeo Manjhi said 45-year-old Chandmuni Devi had used black magic against his wife who died of snakebite on July 14. He complained to the panchayat that ordered that Chandmuni be stripped and beaten with hot rods and sickles and that she lose her job answering tech support calls for Dell computer.
Witch-hunt cases are rampant in Jharkhand, mostly because when there’s no red-dot painting to be done on foreheads there’s pretty much nothing else to do.
When a villager was asked he could he prove Chandmuni was a witch, the villager replied “Well, she turned me into a newt.”
