He said that information is being received that the son of Ramdev Oraon of the same village had died during exorcism and the health of the other son was deteriorating.  After this, the villagers targeted a family, considering the cause of death to be a witch. The villagers first beat them badly and then burnt them alive. All the deceased are from the same family. After the incident, there is an atmosphere of fear in the village and many people have left their homes. The area where this incident took place is completely tribal area. Four bodies have been taken out from the nearby pond, all are in a burnt state. At present no FIR has been registered because the child is very scared and is not able to give much information.

In this case, Nitish called the BJP government a hooliganism and said that the criminals have no fear of the law and the credibility of this government has ended.
