Its not surprising as some parts of the world still live the way they do centuries ago. Also India have very strong believe in the supernatural. Its easy to accuse anyone and you will see this kind of stuff happening.

yes i heard some news on this i heard its an uprising of the christian religions which dont like witchcraft and think its evil but really that its an excuse for white racism towards blacks as they believe blacks are responsible for the harm done to their societies its happening worldwide and there was some talk about witchhunts and punishing witches its very sad really as religious fanatics always take others beliefs and judge them and then twist them round imagine an old couple as well that is so unkind

This is indeed alarming and barbaric but as the news said, it could be the result of poverty and illiteracy. In short, the people didn't know better and are still ignorant. It is now their government's call to make sure that it would never happen again.
