In yet another instance of blind faith, a sorcerer performed witchcraft in the morgue at the Kalahandi District Headquarters Hospital (DHH) here in an attempt to resurrect a dead person.
Sources said that one Satish Bhopal of Tumerimunda village in Kesinga area of the district was bit by a snake on Wednesday. He was initially admitted to the Kesinga hospital and later shifted to the DHH, where he was declared dead.
Later, high drama unfolded at the hospital as his father brought a sorcerer to the mortuary, where the body was kept. The sorcerer performed sorcery inside the morgue trying to bring Satish back to life, but failed.
