A resident of the Akota area has registered a complaint against a Tantrik at Gotri police station for threatening and cheating him of 21.13 lakh over the last few months. Siddharth Sharma told police that the accused Gopal alias Rajesh Shastri, a resident of Madhya Pradesh, has been threatening to harm his family.

Sharma, who works for a private firm, had gone to Ujjain in December last year. After visiting a temple, when Sharma was returning to the hotel in an auto, the driver Dinesh Solanki offered to take him to a man who will help him flourish with some rituals. Sharma then went to meet Shastri in Ujjain and did some rituals before paying Rs 31,000 to the accused. Later, Shastri, Solanki and two other men accompanied Sharma to the city and visited his house. Shastri took another Rs 30,000 from Sharma for performing some rituals. Police said that Shastri left that day but soon Sharma began getting calls from the Shastri.

He threatened to finish off Sharma’s family and demanded money repeatedly over the last two months. Sharma transferred Rs 21.13 lakh online before approaching the police.
