A one-year-old child was killed after being taken to an occultist, who broke his teeth and tossed him to the ground while trying to heal him, in Western Uttar Pradesh, his family has alleged.

The child, Anuj, was taken to the quack on Thursday night in Dhakar village of Bulandshahr district after he fell ill, his uncle Saurabh said.

The faith healer, who the police described as a local tantrik, broke some of his teeth and threw him on the ground.

When the family realised the child was unconscious, he was taken to a private hospital for treatment late at night. He was pronounced dead by the doctors there.
