Karan Oberoi’s Sister Files Complaint Against Tantric-cum-healer For Practising Black Magic
A tantric-cum-healer had accused Karan Oberoi of rape. The actor was bailed out a couple of months ago. Now, the actor’s sister has filed a complaint against the woman for practising black magic.
A couple of months ago, Karan Oberoi was granted bail after being accused of rape and extortion by a 34-year-old woman, who is apparently a tantric-cum-healer. Now, his sister Gurbani Oberoi has moved the Andheri Metropolitan Magistrate Court against the Mumbai-based woman for practising black magic (witchcraft).
Gurbani
revealed
that
the
woman
had
threatened
and
claimed
that
she
was
using
witchcraft
to
harm
her
parents.
BT
quoted
her
as
saying,
"Her
witchcraft
practices
are
not
a
new
development.
My
brother
had
mentioned
it
in
his
NC,
which
he
had
filed
against
her
in
October
last
year,
seven
months
before
she
filed
the
case
against
him.
She
had
threatened
us
with
dire
consequences
and
claimed
that
she
was
using
witchcraft
to
cause
my
parents
pain
and
suffering.
Such
women
cannot
be
above
the
law."
Even Karan Oberoi said that he suffered for a long time. He added that although he had clearly mentioned in his complaint about the woman's association with witchcraft, no action was taken against her.
Karan added, "Practising witchcraft is a serious crime in Maharashtra, and one can't get away using the gender card. Every time someone gets away with an unlawful practice, it emboldens the others to follow suit. For the good of society, it's important to keep crime and punishment gender neutral. Initiatives like #MenToo are the need of the hour."
Karan's lawyer Dinesh Tiwari too echoed the same. He said that 'Propagating and promoting such theories in any form is illegal', which is the ground of their complaint. He also revealed that besides publishing a book on witchcraft and voodoo, she has been propagating it on chat groups and even teaching people.
