Gorakhpur: Five people were arrested after a video showing a repellent of the devil who did magic to bring a dead boy back to viral life on social media.
The old man from the boy, who had died 23 days ago, also joined the futile attempt ‘Tanktrik Kriya’ conducted overnight in their home in Pharenda from Maharajanj District on Thursday with hope, police said.
Boy Ashok Kumar’s parents and Lilavati together with Tantric Raj Bahadur Sahni, his wife Usha, and their Rajan colleagues were arrested by the police and sent to prison.
According to reports, the 9-year-old son of Shivam suffered a serious illness and died during treatment at a government hospital on August 21.
Being an underage child, his body was buried near the forest about 3 km from his house.

Yashvant Singh said, “FIR under the IPC Part 294 (obscene words in public) and 297 (entered without permission in the cemetery) had been registered against the defendant and they were all sent to prison.
