The victim claimed that she was suffering from pain in her left hand and sought the help of the tantrik in November last year.
"In December, one day she was called by him to meet him at his house. He asked the complainant to close her eyes. After some time she opened her eyes and found the pandit enchanting and gradually, she lost her consciousness.
"The pandit took over her two gold bracelets and cellphone. Later she gained consciousness and found herself without her clothes. The tantrik threatened her if she complained to police that she was raped. On this complaint a case was registered," Additional Commissioner of Police (South-East) Ajay Chaudhry said.
