Bantwal: Assault on astrologer in broad daylight - Accused arrested


Daijiworld Media Network - Bantwal (SP)

Bantwal, Mar 24: The police arrested one in connection to the attack on an astrologer here at Padma complex, B C Road. The incident took place on March 20.

The police here have arrested Mohan Prabhu (38) from Panjikallu. He has been accused of hitting Laxmikanth Bhat alias Hanumanthappa, who used to practice astrology at Sri Durgaparameshwari Jyothishalaya.

Prabhu has held the astrologer responsible for creating a split between him and his wife, resulting in her walking away from his life.

A police team led by sub-inspector (crime) Kalaimar, working under the guidance of Bantwal police inspector Cheluvaraju, succeeded in finding out the whereabouts of the accused. Prabhu has since admitted that he attacked the astrologer because of personal enmity.

Prabhu had tremendous faith in astrological predictions. He had visited astrologer, Laxmikanth, to know from him about the future of his family life and how he can improve upon things. Laxmikanth, who is from Bagalkot district, gave him certain devices. One of his advice was to divorce Prabhu's wife, as their personalities do not match.

Prabhu believed in the predictions and divorced his wife. Later, he realised that it was a mistake. He thereafter grew angry about the astrologer. Seething with anger because of the notion that the astrologer was the root cause for his wife deserting him, Prabhu visited Laxmikanth on March 20 duly acting like he was there to seek astrological advice, and hit him in the head with a rod and escaped from there.

    Astrologers foretell few things (of the past, present & mostly about forthcoming) and they create undue doubts and bad impacts in ones life. So better not to consult our fortunes with such money swindlers. they also, have some cure or how to wash away the bad impacts in ones personal life. I used to entertain all such events for fun but its dangerous. Never succumb to such things. Be careful.

    Astrologer could have escaped from the hit, if he had checked his future before that person visited him.

    If the attack was not deadly and the scale of severity , I support the attack on this Astrolger for interfereing and ruining a family. No sane person may give such an advice nor a mentally stable man will seek and listen to such advice.

    If Prabhu really loved his wife and was a good husband, no astrological predictions will drive away his wife. He only has no faith in himsef and god...so he had immense faith in astrology...Why to hit the astrologer? Astrooger didnt go to prabhu's doorstep to predict...First improve yourself...work hard...think good think positively...

    There is a simple test to check the credibility of any astrologer. Just put a currency note into the astrologer's pocket by yourself and ask him to guess the serial number!!!

    i wonder what kind of a lady is the wife of MOhan Prabhu..how she can believe the astrologers saying that it will be good for her to divorce her husband.. Actually Mohan Prabhu should have hit him hard so that he should never get into this fake astrology business.
