Kathmandu, June 30
The Kathmandu District Administration Office has remanded controversial shaman Bishnu Kunwar alias Dharti Mata in custody for next seven days.
Kunwar was arrested in Balaju of Kathmandu on Friday after a video showing her beating up a woman at Bhadrakali temple premises went viral on social media.
Officials of the Metropolitan Police Range, Kathmandu, inform that she has accepted it was a mistake to beat up someone. However, she has been insisting that she possesses supernatural powers.
Meanwhile, the investigators have also informed that her case might turn weak as no victims filed any complaint against her. An official says if any victim had spoken against her, a witchcraft case could have been filed, and it would make her receive harsher punishments.
But, police are preparing to charge her for disrespectful behaviours for the want of evidence.
Further investigation is underway.
