Pregnant Woman Dies After Brutal Exorcism In Badin District
On Monday evening, 30-year-old Sangeeta Kohli, who had been expecting her first child after six years of marriage, was reportedly beaten for five days by two exorcists who claimed she was possessed by a jinn. The exorcists, Bachu Kohli and Harsan Kohli, detained Sangeeta in Khuda Bux Hisbani village, where they subjected her to violent rituals intended to rid her of evil forces, including jinn and witches.
Residents of the village disclosed that the exorcists performed severe beatings on Sangeeta every night, convinced that these actions would expel the supposed demons.
Sangeeta’s brother, Ashok, revealed that the exorcists continued to beat his sister even after she had died. “When the police arrived, both Bachu and Harsan were sitting by Sangeeta’s body,” Ashok said. He also stated that the exorcists used various methods of violence, including tying a shoe to Sangeeta’s nose as part of their supposed exorcism procedure. Despite her screams of pain, which locals confirmed could be heard each night, the exorcists dismissed them as cries from jinn.
Local communities and human rights groups are now calling for increased awareness and regulation of these harmful traditions.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
