Youth walks on fire to prove innocence
2008-11-07
A youth walked on fire to prove his innocence in an alleged adultery case in the Zain Kot area of Dera Bugti, ARY OneWorld reported on Thursday. According to the channel, Pir Bux alleged that his nephew Muhammad Sharif had had illicit relations with his wife. A jirga heard the case and decided that Sharif would have to walk on burning coal to prove his innocence. The jirga also decided that Sharif would be declared a Karo if any pustules were seen 18 hours after he walks on fire, in that case he would also have to pay a fine of Rs 300,000 to his uncle. The practice of making people walk on fire to prove their innocence is a tribal tradition in Balochistan and called Charbeli in the local language.
