bunch of freaks, should be stoned to death. God knows how many of these are sitting in holes of Karachi and other major cities.

KARACHI: A faith healer and his disciple have been arrested for throwing a young girl into fire on Tuesday, in order to “make the ghost occupying her soul run away”.

Korangi police arrested Munawer and his assistant, Khalid, on Wednesday after the victim Naushaba, filed an FIR (139/10) against the accused, who had escaped after burning her.

Naushaba’s mother, Zarina, said that her 22-year-old daughter had been ill for the past six months. She would jerk and twitch sometimes and was always crying. Sometimes, she even spoke in a strange language that no one in the family understood, her mother said.

It was three months ago when we decided to take her to a renowned faith healer in the area, Zarina explained. “Our relatives told us that he was a very good pir and can solve any problem,” she said.

According to Korangi police, the faith healer was active in the area for the past few years “but we never received any complaints against him”.

SHO Korangi Shakir Ali told The Express Tribune that Naushaba has two siblings and her father died 20 years ago. The accused, Munawar, revealed during initial investigations that he has dens in other areas, such as Shah Faisal Colony. He charges Rs1,000 to Rs20,000 for his services, according to the police.

Naushaba’s treatment at the pir’s den in the Sector 35-C, Korangi, started after her parents paid Rs10,000 to Munawer, who promised to make the “djinn” occupying her soul leave within three months.

One week ago, her family was informed that the ghost has been defeated and would leave Naushaba’s body on July 5. According to the statements received by the police, her family members took her to the pir on Monday, where he started doing his ‘magic’ and asked them to wait outside.

Naushaba told the police that the pir and his assistant, Khalid, took her to a place where they had stored oil. They started a fire in a round ditch. When she was close enough, they pushed her in, she said, adding that her family came to her rescue when they heard her scream but by then her face and one of her hands was burnt.

“We need justice; they should be hanged,” her mother requested the police.
Naushaba is under treatment at the Burns Centre at Civil Hospital, Karachi. Doctors said that she is out of danger but it may take another six months for her to recover completely.

Meanwhile Sindh Minister for Health Dr Sagheer Ahmad has condemned the incident. “I have directed the hospital administration to provide every possible support to the victim,” he said, adding that such criminals will be brought to justice.

Psychiatrist Dr Uzma Ambareen of the Pakistan Association of Mental Health believes that Naushaba may be suffering from a dissociative disorder, which has “culture-bound syndromes”.

“The form of possession disorder that she may have is very common to India and Pakistan,” said Dr Ambareen. “Psychiatric treatment may not always help. In fact, pirs may be helpful since the family and the patients have faith in them.”

She ruled out the possibility of Tourettes Syndrome as it starts at an early age and usually involves the patient using repetitive noises and movements. It is possible that she may be schizophrenic but it seems like she is suffering from hysteria, now known as conversion disorder, Dr Ambareen said, adding that patients suffering from psychotic disorders, such as schizophrenia, respond to nothing but medication.

wowza..what a tool..what a friggin moron..a complete blithering ignoramus..cant stand ppl like this

Thats one thing we can agree on, all ass clowns abusing religion and twisting it to fit their own psychotic jahalat and then hurt innocent people, need to be taken out. whether they live in city slums, villages, caves..wherever

although stoning is a little barbaric, maybe something more civil like electric chair after suitable application of waterboarding perhaps.

Agreed.

I immediately thought of you on reading the thread title though

God, when will this stop. These peers and whatnot are all fake, dont understand why people dont just pray to allah, as opposed to going to these people who completely take advantage. Makes my blood boil reading stories like this, the pir is a sick freak, who should be stoned, and as for the family, goddd could they not go to a normal doctor like normal people, whats wrong with people esp our own pakistanis and indians, doctor is outta the question, just run to the nearest peer if your child so much as sneezes.

Re: Fraudia pir throws 22 year old woman into fire...

I have seen doctors beleiving in this jinn bull$hit! how can you blame ordinary people.

Our people are hooked on Karamaat, more elaborate a fairytale, more "Eman afrooz" it is to the people. When we have changed our religious personailities into dieties, then thats what people expect from religion.........magic.

kakaballi · July 10, 2010, 3:24pm

There should have been no exorcism to begin with!

socrates · July 10, 2010, 3:38pm

i sincerely suggest that you take back your words regarding jinn unless
u are really prepared to meet a jinn tonight !

socrates · July 10, 2010, 3:40pm

kakaballi · July 10, 2010, 3:50pm

Epilepsy needs a doctor, not a pir.

Re: Fraudia pir throws 22 year old woman into fire...

education is the key factor for the eradication of vices like these... educated ppl would go to a doctor rather than some peer faqeer..

What a bunch of morons!!!!!

That would not make a spirit leave someone i dont think.... (They might leave only while the girl is in the fire but return after)

Poor girl :(

Re: Fraudia pir throws 22 year old woman into fire...

horrible.

i wonder though what the legal recourse is. we cant deny jinns and exorcism in courts can we? so would this be a case of medical malpractice?
