Woman harassed for dowry; raped by occultist

A 23-year married woman has been allegedly raped twice by an occultist here along with suffering dowry harassments at the hands of her in-laws, police said today.
According to the complaint filed by the victim, she was married in 2005 to one Sudhir Tiwari. And, after a few days of marriage only the in-laws started harassing her for dowry, the police said.
The woman also alleged that her mother-in-law Indu took away her jewelleries and often used to beat her up leading to a miscarriage once. And, when she was again pregnant, then Indu called up an occultist Madan Tiwari, who was known to the mother-in-law. The man raped her when the woman was alone in her room, she alleged.

When the victim narrated the incident to her husband, he instead put the blame on her only. And, next day, Indu fed her some drugs, after which the occultist again raped her, the complaint said.
Based on her complaint, a case has been registered against the occultist and her in-laws, police said.
