Witchcraft Hoax Sparks Panic in Indian Village

Panic swept over a village in India after a pair of pranksters hoaxed an unsettling witchcraft ritual that understandably left residents on edge. According to a local media report, the odd incident occurred early Saturday morning when, under the cloak of darkness, the two troublemakers conjured up a fantastic scene on a main road in the community of Bajaj Nagar. Specifically, the pair placed "a pot smeared with a blood-like substance" at the spot with "rangoli powder scattered nearby." Completing the creepy 'production,' the container featured the unnerving words "death is here" scrawled on it.
