\u201cWe found smoking pipes, slaughtered pigeons, pictures of people poked with needles, \u201d Wani told the court. \u201cOther (pictures) were burned and some were covered in blood.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added that they also found raw meat and a cat tied at the entrance of a room and that the evidence was sufficient to charge the suspects with the crime of practicing witchcraft.
