Two brothers in Jharkhand die after their family allegedly relies on occult rituals rather than medical treatment to cure their fever. According to reports, the family seeks help from an “ojha guni,” described as a sorcerer and traditional healer, instead of consulting a doctor or going to a hospital.
Both outlets describe the incident as involving faith-based or traditional practices used for managing the children’s illness. NDTV and India Today both frame the case as a departure from seeking healthcare, highlighting that the fever treatment comes through occult practices. The coverage focuses on the alleged decision-making by the family and the resulting deaths, though neither report provides extensive details on an official medical cause of death or court proceedings in the provided summaries.
The accounts converge on the key sequence of events—fever in the brothers, the family’s choice of occult treatment through an intermediary healer, and the brothers’ subsequent deaths—while differing only in phrasing about the healer and the characterization of the practices.
