A heartbreaking tragedy has come to light in Jharkhand, where five villagers were brutally killed on suspicion of witchcraft. First they were cut with sharp tools and then their bodies were set on fire. This cruel act is going to shake the whole country and shows how the feeling of superstition and fear can kill innocent people.

According to police reports, the victims were targeted by fellow villagers following a series of mysterious illnesses and deaths in the area. Fuelled by fear and misinformation, suspicion turned into violence. Five villagers were brutally hacked to death and set on fire in Jharkhand over witchcraft suspicions, highlighting deep-rooted superstition and the urgent need for awareness and stronger legal enforcement.

Although there is a law like "Witch Practice Act" to curb witch practice in Jharkhand, such superstitions still persist due to lack of awareness, slow implementation of law and social stigma. Often older women, widows or socially marginalized people become easy targets in these communities.
The local administration has started investigating the case and some arrests have also been made, but the mental trauma in the village is very deep. Social workers and NGOs are now demanding immediate intervention - not just legal steps, but also as education, access to the community and assisting weaker sections.

This sad incident is not just a rural problem; This is a warning for the whole country. Can not be fought by silence with superstition - education, sympathy and law are needed against it. Until this does not happen, innocent lives will continue to be offered to the mask of ignorance and fear, which society gives the name of tradition.
