In Vadi village, nearly 400 km from Bhopal, 60-year-old Sakriya Mandloi performs a ritual to ward off evil spirits. He believes they are responsible for the low weight of Sambhu and his brother Shiv. Two-year-old Sambhu weighs 8.5 kg and 7-month-old Shiv weighs 4 kg. Both are malnourished, but instead of taking them to an anganwadi or a hospital, their family takes them to this occultist or tantrik, who charges a bottle of liquor and fruits.
