Ajmer: In a shocking case of superstition taking its toll on families, three persons of a family died at the Dargah in Ajmer after they had been fasting for 39 days to ward off an evil spell.
Nine persons of the same family are now undergoing treatment at JLN Hospital in Ajmer. The family from Allahabad has been living in Ajmer for a year-and-a-half. The police are now looking into the matter.
This family paid the price for their superstitious belief. They had been offering prayers regularly at Ajmer Dargah and fasting for 39 days since someone had told them it would ward off an evil spell.

Our people are really very superstitious. We are reminded only when some calamity occurs. Even educated people believe in horoscope aided foretelling, palmistry, astrology and allied matters and suffer the whole life. many seek advice of astrologers for marriage, business forecast, exam results and so on. naturally, people pay the price. sometimes, it is very costly as we witnessed in Ajmer.
