Family Members Cover Lightning Strike Victim With Cow Dung, Mud

Dumka: In an act of superstition, family members of an 18-year-old girl, who died after a lightning strike on Monday, kept her body covered with mud and cow dung for hours believing that she would come back to life.

The incident happened at Daldali village under Gopikandar police station when Alijabeth Murmu was struck by lightning on Monday evening while returning from the field after sowing paddy.

The police had a tough time convincing the family members to allow post mortem of the body.

It was only on Tuesday that the post mortem was conducted and the body was handed over to the family for the last rites.

According to sources, another villager, Hopni Murmu (45), who was with the girl, was also injured when the lightning struck.

Hopni is undergoing treatment at a government health centre.

Family members of Alijabeth, who died on the spot, applied a thick layer of mud and cow dung and were waiting for her to come back to life.

After the police learnt about the incident, they went to the village to take the body for post mortem but faced resistance.

Late in the night, they finally managed to convince them and sent the body for post mortem.

Gopikandar police station officer-in-charge Bilkan Bags said, “The family members waited for several hours after applying the thick layer of the mixture due to their superstition.

We, somehow, managed to convince them later and took the body for post mortem.”

This rampant bloodshed has torn apart cities and communities across Mexico, often taking the lives of the innocent along with those directly involved. The Mexican cartels (The Sinaloa, Los Zetas, The Gulf Cartel, and the Knights Templar, most notably) and their known drug associates continue to escalate gratuitous acts of retaliation and often record the executions. In 2017, the Mexican government extradited Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán, a known member of the Sinaloa cartel, to the US. Guzmán faces charges of murder and laundering funds. New York prosecutors have evidence against the alleged cartel leader, including YouTube videos in which Guzmán systematically harmed and then removed the heads of rival gang members. In a ...

But the sword-weilding executioner had to take two swings to hack-off Layla bint Abdul Mutaleb Bassim’s head in graphic footage later uploaded onto the Internet. There were howls of protest over the woman’s execution in Saudi Arabia’s holy city of Mecca after she was found guilty of beating the girl and raping her with a broomstick. But the outrage, mainly from men, wasn’t about her sentence of death, but because it was filmed and uploaded onto the web, where her family might see it. Now the country’s religious police have arrested the person who filmed the e...
