The baby was suffering from high fever since birth. On Monday, his parents took rents took him to a woman known to be a witch doctor. But her treatment was totally horrified. The baby boy was grabbed his neck and made to walk a few steps. The baby was now further taken to the hospital so that the baby will not face any further torture. The villager took a mobile phone video and shared it. The child reportedly had high fever since birth. The video is totally disturbing and shows the woman holding the crying newborn by his neck. The villagers did nothing rather than watching idly the treatment.
A team of police rushed to the spot so that they can save the baby. The baby was taken to the hospital and now he is out of danger and is recovering too. The police in Morigaon, the district where the village is located arrested two women and sent to the judicial custody. "He was suffering from fever, but now the baby is healthy . We must overhaul our post natal care system, have directed officials to launch a vigorous campaign," said Rakesh Kumar, a senior official in Morigaon. However the case showed how the people are still ignorant and are taking risk just for the sake of their superstitious belief.
