Unfortunate That 'Tantrics/Babas' Take Advantage Of Vulnerability & Blind Faith: Bombay HC Upholds Man's Life Term For Rape Of 6 Minor Girls

Live Law  

The Bombay High Court recently confirmed the conviction and life sentence of a man claiming to be a tantric who raped and sexually exploited seven girls, six of them minors, for over five years under the pretext of curing them from begetting intellectually challenged male children. A division bench of Justice Revati Mohite Dere and Justice Manjusha Deshpande dismissed the appeal filed by one Mehandi Kasim Jenul Abidin Shaikh, alias Bangali Baba, against conviction by the sessions court in April 2016 observing – “It is an unfortunate reality of our times, that people, at times knock on the doors of so called tantrics/babas, for a solution to their problems and that these so called tantrics/babas, take advantage of the vulnerability and blind faith of these people and exploit them. The so called, tantrics/babas not only exploit their vulnerability, by extracting money from them, but also many a times, sexually assault the victims, under the guise of providing solutions…The appellant took full advantage of the apprehension of the victims mothers and by manipulating their fears, assured to cure the girls and in the process, also financially exploited them.” The sessions court had found Shaikh guilty under Sections 376, 354, 313, 323, 506 and 420 of the IPC. However, it reimposed that sentence, observing that this was a classic case of exploitation of six young girls by Shaikh because of the blind faith of their mothers, and warranted a sentence of imprisonment for life, which shall be till the remainder of his life.
