Her condition had not improved and so her family decided to take her to a local Pir, a Pir is a Muslim saint or holy man, who they believed could confront “the demons tormenting her”.
Police told the media that the young woman’s cousin, had taken her to the healer, identified as Pir Afzal. . During his so-called treatment, the Pir is alleged to have tied her up with ropes and began to beat her.
“When the young woman started screaming in pain, her cousin tried to stop him but the Pir told him that the blows were not hurting her,” a neighbor told the local newspaper.
