The Story in Brief
NDTV reports that the Varanasi Police have arrested six people in connection with the murder of occultist Anish Upadhyay. The victim was reportedly called to perform rituals after the family faced financial troubles and illness.
The investigation is ongoing. The arrests follow a complaint filed by the family, though further details have not been released.
The Indian Opinion
News of occultists preying on desperate families is unsettling, but the real story is why educated families still fall for such claims. Blaming superstition alone lets off those who exploit financial distress and illness for profit. The test will be if the Varanasi Police look beyond this one case and into the network of occult practitioners operating across UP.
