Given the case, Karan who acted in the popular show ‘Jassi Jaissi Koi Nahin’ was arrested in May this year and was kept in judicial custody. Later he was granted bail after being in police custody for a month. The woman was arrested after she preplanned an attack on herself and falsely blamed Karan.

Karan’s sister Gurbani Oberoi has filed a complaint with the police against the woman for practising witchcraft. Apart from witchcraft, she has also accused her of causing mental trauma and pain to her parents.

Gurbani Oberoi told Bombay Times, “Her witchcraft practices are not a new development. My brother had mentioned it in his NC, which he had filed against her in October last year, seven months before she filed the case against him. She had threatened us with dire consequences and claimed that she was using witchcraft to cause my parents pain and suffering. Such women cannot be above the law.”

Karan also spoke about his trauma. He said, “I have suffered for a long time. While I had clearly mentioned her association with witchcraft in my complaint, no action has been taken against her till date. Practising witchcraft is a serious crime in Maharashtra, and one can’t get away using the gender card. Every time someone gets away with an unlawful practice, it emboldens the others to follow suit.”

Karan’s defence lawyer, Dinesh Tiwari also told the publication that “propagating and promoting such theories in any form is illegal”. He also said, “Besides publishing a book on witchcraft and voodoo, she has been propagating it on chat groups and also teaching people. In fact, her lawyer, too, admitted that she indulges in such practises and even claimed to be a victim of it. This is good enough evidence and she is liable to be prosecuted and punished.”
