The police conducted a raid and arrested five people. During interrogation, the accused told that they used to keep photos of Lord Hanuman and Kali with them. They used to dress up like a Baba so that people would think that they are Babas. Apart from this, these people used to carry sodium with them. They used to talk to women walking on the road about common things which are the problems of every household.
To prove that Baba was real, he used to sprinkle water on sodium
They used to tell women that ‘You do good to everyone, but no one does good to you. You are troubled because of your children. Money comes in the house, but it gets spent quickly.’ Women used to get trapped by listening to such things. To prove themselves as real Babas, they used to sprinkle water on sodium, due to which it caught fire. By doing this, they used to show that they are setting fire with their powers. Seeing all this, women used to get trapped by them. After this, they used to engage the women in conversation and take off their jewellery and then run away from the spot.
