The family members of Baijanti Adivasi, a resident of Mamon village, brought her to the district hospital after she was bitten by a snake while working on a field, the hospital's civil surgeon Dr Devesh Bhargava said.

However, after the woman could not be saved during treatment, her family called a tantrik and performed some ritual, he said.

The police were subsequently informed and the family members were also advised to permit a post-mortem. But they didn't relent and took the body home, Dr Bhargava said.
