Anantnag: A self-styled faith healer has been arrested for allegedly raping two girls in South Kashmir’s Anantnag district.
The accused, Ashraf Mir son of Ghulam Ahmed Mir, is a resident of Akingam village of Anantnag district.
Sources told Kashmir News Trust that a man from Tailwan Achabal village, Muhammad Maqbool Dar, lodged a complaint at Police Station Achabal alleging that a self-styled faith healer forcibly raped her two daughters.
