A man named Rishikesh Kumar was taken into custody by Bilaspur Police on Saturday after he participated in a 'tantrik' ritual using a photograph of the Chief Justice of Chhattisgarh High Court, Ramesh Sinha, allegedly in an attempt to secure bail for his relative. The incident occurred at a cremation ground in Devri village, where four men were spotted performing suspicious activities during the night of Friday and Saturday. Three suspects managed to escape, while Kumar was apprehended and handed over to the authorities. The police recovered ritual materials from the scene, including a fish, lemons, vermilion, photographs of Chief Justice Ramesh Sinha, Priyanshu Bole, and another unnamed individual. According to officials, one of the photographs was of Bole, while another represented the victim in a stabbing case. During questioning, Kumar reportedly confessed that his relative, Priyanshu Bole, was among several individuals arrested in connection with the stabbing incident, with one accused having already been granted bail and the remaining suspects still awaiting court decisions on their bail pleas. The police believe that Kumar and his associates were influenced by a video of a tantrik who claimed such rituals could help secure bail. Further investigation is underway, and Superintendent of Police Rajnesh Singh warned against such acts, stating that strict action would be taken against anyone involved in these practices. He also emphasized that bail cannot be obtained through any ritual and encouraged criminals to reform themselves. The questioning and investigation regarding this matter are ongoing.
