The Allagadda Police arrested two persons, including a quack, on June 20 for allegedly coercing four women of a family from Chagalamarri into nude worship under the pretext of treating the illness of one of their husbands.
One of the victims contacted the accused, Battaluri Lakshmi Nagamma, from Mutthaluru of Rudravaram mandal, seeking treatment for her husband. Nagamma performed some rituals and collected ₹3 lakh from the woman, but when her husband’s health did not improve, she approached Nagamma again, said Allagadda Deputy Superintendent of Police B. Venkataramaiah.
