In a shocking incident, authorities have arrested a self-proclaimed godman named Bhagwandin, accused of raping a 23-year-old woman under the pretense of administering traditional medicine to help her conceive a son.

The alleged crime took place after the woman's husband and mother-in-law escorted her to Bhagwandin's residence in Balrampur village. Known for his occult practices, Bhagwandin had gained a reputation for offering rituals and remedies promising male offspring.

On March 11, he purportedly led the woman to a relative's house in Bilandpur Ashok village, ordering her family to wait outside while he sexually assaulted her inside. Authorities have collected forensic evidence and are continuing their investigation.
