“There was a strong flash light and I lost consciousness. After an hour I realized that my hair someone cut off,” says Sunita Devi 53-year-old housewife from Gurgaon district in Haryana. She’s still freaked out about that mysterious “attack”.

No one saw anything
Sunita Devi lives in a close community of merchants and farmers. Some neighbors spend time with her in turns and take care of her until she recovers from the shock.
According to her, she was attacked by the elderly man, “dressed in clothes of bright colors”.
“I was the one on the ground floor of his house, my daughter and grandson were upstairs. The attack occurred at about 21:30,” she says.

The story becomes even more mysterious when I ask if you saw someone attacking.

“People gather together after dinner to chat and rest. And Friday was no exception, but none of us have seen it, in the house of Sunita anyone coming in or out of it,” she says.
The story does not end there.
