We have seen and heard people say, oh he's possessed. And to remove an evil force from one's body, there are apparently some rituals and medications available while the latter is the best solution to someone's altered state of mind. It would be strange enough to note that biting someone would be a cure to possession. In a bizarre incident, a 53-year-old person has allegedly bitten his 23-year-old son to death only to allegedly remove a possessed snake from his son's body.

We do not know whether the deceased had an altered state of mind but the father certainly has. Only a mentally disturbed person would believe and do such things. How can a snake possess someone? All this sounds stupid right? Katsumi is the man who had bitten his son Takuya at Central Japan recently.  The injured was shifted the hospital but he was declared dead. Let us hope that we don't hear such bizarre incidents in future. It is the duty of the governments to ensure that people are properly educated and if anyone behaves in an insane manner, he/she should be taken to hospitals immediately. Biting, beating or kicking them won't solve the problem.
