Ghosts ‘harass’ man, cops file plaint

Vadodara: When a man, quaking with fear, ran into Jambughoda police station on Sunday afternoon, the last thing that the cops expected to end up doing was file a complaint – against two ghosts!
The man claimed that he had been confronted by a gang of ghosts, of which two threatened to kill him. “So, I ran to the police station. I request you to save my life,” stated the 35-year-old, who resides in a hamlet in Jambughoda taluka of Panchmahals district.
Strange as his request was, the police accepted his application to pacify the man who seemed to be mentally disturbed. The application, addressed to the police sub-inspector, revealed that the gang of ghosts had approached the complainant when he was working in his farm.
PSI Mayanksinh Thakor said that he was on duty in Pavagadh on Sunday when the man came to the police station. “He was very agitated. It was clear that he was behaving abnormally. We took down his application and showed it to him to help him calm down,” said Thakor.
The police also contacted the man’s relatives. “His family members revealed that he was undergoing psychiatric treatment. However, he had not taken his medicine for the past 10 days,” Thakor said.
On Monday, the police spoke to the man again.
“He said that he ran to the police station as he believed that the ghosts would not be able to trouble him there. We have asked his family to ensure that he takes his medicines regularly so that he does not experience such psychotic episodes again,” the PSI said.
