Professor Narendra Nayak, president of Federation of Indian Rationalist Associations, recently conducted a sting to expose an astrologer whose clients were mostly women. Following this expose, a victim has approached the police against the astrologer, claiming he has exploited her.
Twenty-four-year-old Vidya (name changed), a BCA graduate was going through several problems in her life, as her parents were separated, and she had failed to land a secure job. Though a brave girl, she fell prey to an advertisement repeatedly telecast on local television channels that projected "astrologer" Ramakrishna Sharma, who was recently arrested by the police. Since he had a "solution to all problems" and could "restore peace of mind", according to the ads, she consulted Ramakrishna.
Speaking to Bangalore Mirror of her ordeal, she said, "Since nothing positive was happening in my life, I decided to try my luck with this astrologer in August. He convinced me that my problems would be solved for which I needed to pay Rs 15,000 for pujas he would perform. When I said I did not have the money, he said, I could pay half the amount then and the rest, after I got the results. Hence, I paid him Rs 8,000. He gave me a variety of prasads, some that were black in colour to be kept under my pillow, lemons under the bed and so on. After about one-and-a-half months, I noticed that my problems continued, so I asked him to refund the money I had paid him. He instead told me that my father's family had performed black magic on me. I told him I had no enemies. He went on to ask me for more money but I did not pay him."
Vidya says that his real name could be Lokesh, for that is how she was introduced to him. One day, when she saw some women waiting for him, she asked them to leave as he had no solution to their problems. But the astrologer managed to retain his clients.
"I realised that this man had no solution to anyone's problems. He was only swindling people. He kept telling me that I will have to wait. Finally, he told me that my Doshas would end if I slept with a Brahmin. While he was very cool as he offered this solution, I was shocked and told him that I was not interested. I asked him to return my money," she said.
