An ailing college student was reportedly tortured by a man who called himself a Badshah of Jinns(King of Jinns), and asserted himself to be the best person suited for curing her illness.
The girl Shahnaj Khatun, 20, is currently resting at home after the incident occurred in Kalihati upazila of Tangail on Monday night.
Police visited her on Thursday. Necessary actions will be taken after a complaint is filed, said Kalihati police station OC Hasan Al Mamun.
The girl's mother accused Haji Darog Ali, who has been absconding since the incident.
According to the girl's mother, Darog Ali tortured the girl in the name of applying powerful magic to cure her illness. Being severely injured from the incident, she was sent to a local hospital and later transferred to Tangail General Hospital when her condition deteriorated.
Her mother claimed she was forced to bring her home from the hospital after receiving threats from influential locals. "My relatives are in Dhaka, we will take legal actions after they arrive," she added.
