ZitatIndian shaman 'poisons women in witchcraft test'
...
"Her father Sitaram Rathod and other villagers suspected that it [her illness] could be due to an evil spell cast by a witch," Mr Joshi said.
"They [the villagers] called for an ojha [witch doctor] to ward off the spell."
Authorities said the shaman, named as Bhagwan Deen, had been helped by a few other residents as he rounded up nearly all the adult women in the centre of the village.
He concocted the potion test after conducting rituals which failed to expose the alleged witch.
"The shaman then forced the women to consume a drink that he had made out of a local poisonous herb," Mr Joshi said. "He said that after drinking the brew, the real witch would voluntarily confess."
Of the nearly 30 women taken to hospital after the incident, around 25 women have since been discharged.
But police said five remained in hospital, including a 70-year-old woman who was in a serious condition.
