FIR Against Akola 'Darbari Godman' for Black Magic and Endangering Newborns A First Information Report (FIR) was registered against a self-proclaimed godman from Nimbha village in Akola district, Maharashtra, for allegedly subjecting minors to dangerous and inhuman practices under the guise of spiritual healing. The case was initiated following a viral social media reel that depicted the accused, Chetan Sunil Mule, swinging small children by holding their clothes with his teeth during a ritual known as a 'darbar.' The incident has sparked widespread outrage, with authorities emphasizing the threat posed to children's lives and the spread of superstition. The complaint was filed by Pranjali Manoj Jaiswal, a 46-year-old member of the Child Welfare Committee (CWC) in Akola. She revealed that she came across the reel, which showed the alleged godman performing the ritual at an early hour, and immediately reported the matter to the Murtizapur rural police station. According to Jaiswal, the practice is not only physically hazardous but also violates the rights of children, as it exploits their vulnerability under the pretense of divine intervention. Upon investigation, the police traced the incident to Nimbha village, where Mule, a 24-year-old resident of Murtizapur taluka, was identified as the accused. The case has been registered under multiple legal provisions, including Section 125 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), which deals with cruelty to children, Section 75 of the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015, and Section 3 of the Maharashtra Prevention and Eradication of Human Sacrifice and other Inhuman, Evil and Aghori Practices and Black Magic Act, 2013.#child_welfare_committee #chetan_sunil_mule #pranjali_manoj_jaiswal #murtizapur_rural_police_station #nimbha_village
