The Story in Brief
Bilaspur Police questioned Rishikesh Kumar on Saturday after he performed a tantrik ritual at a cremation ground using a photograph of Chhattisgarh High Court Chief Justice Ramesh Sinha, hoping to secure bail for his relative Priyanshu Bole. Villagers in Devri spotted four men acting suspiciously late Friday night; three fled, but Kumar was caught and handed over to police.
Police recovered ritual items including a fish, lemons, vermilion, and photos of Chief Justice Sinha, Priyanshu Bole, and a stabbing victim. Kumar allegedly told police he followed a video tutorial by a tantrik who claimed the ritual could win bail. Superintendent Rajnesh Singh warned strict action against such acts, saying 'Criminals should reform themselves.' Investigation continues.
The Indian Opinion
Some will paint this as a quirky rural superstition, but the real story is a judicial system struggling to clear case backlogs. Desperate families turn to tantriks because courts offer no timeline for bail hearings. The Chhattisgarh High Court must ask: how many genuine bail pleas are pending, and what is the average disposal time? That number, not the cremation-ground circus, will tell us if justice is working.
