Lack of knowledge and an abundance of quacks and so called Pirs or spiritual healers across Pakistan have led to many deaths, where the patient has been tortured to death in an effort to heal.
Many medical conditions, including schizophrenia and other psychological complications and even neurological imbalances are diagnosed by the 'Pirs' as a result of 'evil' Djinns.
This phenomenon is not limited to Pakistan's rural areas but often can also be found in the slums of Urban centers; the only factor that remains common among the victims is that they along with their families, lacked education.

Now 13, he bleeds from his ears, eyes, mouth, legs and even his hairline up to TEN TIMES a day.
And the rare affliction - which replicates the wounds Jesus is said to have endured when he was crucified - has left the poor lad in excruciating agony and fearing for his life.
The bizarre phenomenon inspired Hollywood blockbuster Stigmata, starring Oscar-winning actress Patricia Arquette - famed for her roles in Boyhood and Boardwalk Empire - who played an atheist attacked by an unseen force.
But real life stigmata is said to affect a tiny number of people across the globe.
Akhliesh loses blood without being actually cut or scratched.
Because national crime statistics for 2016 will not be released for eight months, the Economist looked at the homicide statistics in 50 major cities over the last year "to get an early sense" of how much the murder rate grew from 2015. The murder rate grew 11 percent from 2014 to 2015, the biggest single-year increase in homicide rates since 1971, according to the FBI's Uniform Crime Report.
The 50 chosen cities comprise 15 percent of the US population and approximately 36 percent of its murder victims. For 35 of those cities, murders increased last year. The rate is defined as the number of murders and non-negligent homicides per 100,000 people.
Comment: The astonishing rise in murder rates speaks to the rapid disintegration of US society - and things aren't looking to get better.

The president of the corporation of funeral directors of Quebec, Denis Desrochers, said the act of taking photos at a funeral isn't new, but sharing those photos on social media is.
"There won't be a 'selfie police,'" he told Radio-Canada's Gravel le Matin, but said that among Quebec funeral directors there is a debate over how to educate people about what is respectful behavior at a funeral parlor.

"Sadly, the risk of terrorism hasn't gone away," deputy mayor Jean-François Martins said at a Paris press conference. "It's not a wall, it's an aesthetic perimeter."
Martins wouldn't confirm a report in Thursday's Le Parisien newspaper that a clear glass structure would be built around the tower's esplanade. The form the new structure takes will depend on solutions proposed in response to the city's call for tenders, he said.
Temporary and movable metal barriers were sporadically thrown up in 2015 and have been in place continuously since France hosted the Euro 2016 soccer championships last summer.
The new perimeter will include the space under the tower, as well as two ponds on either side of it, an area roughly 200 by 300 meters. It must be able to stop bullets and vehicles, he said. Tourists will be free to enter the area after a security check, with payment required only to go up the Tower itself.
Martins said he didn't think the sight of yet another security measure in Paris -- where fully armed soldiers on patrol has become a common sight -- will deter tourists. "What scares tourists is lack of security, not security," he said. The new structure will be the most visible and permanent change to the Paris landscape in response to terrorists.

The website carried out a survey among its editors, all of whom are volunteers, seeking their opinions on the prohibition of the Daily Mail as a source on the site, which many editors apparently welcomed.
"The paper is trash, pure and simple," wrote editor Hillbillyholiday, who initiated the Daily Mail ban in January. Another editor, JRPG, branded it a "mouthpiece for Paul Dacre," a reference to the newspaper's editor.
As protesters broke windows, assaulted Trump and Yiannopoulos supporters, set a large fire outside of the building where Yiannopoulos was supposed to speak, and even hurled rocks at police officers, the campus police decided to employ a hands-off approach, though there were only about 150 protesters. Approximately $100,000 worth of damage was done, but only one person was arrested.
One eyewitness, UFC veteran and professional MMA fighter Jake Shields, told Breitbart News that he was present at the event and was compelled to rescue a man who was being attacked by the protesters after police allegedly refused to intervene. "Like fifteen people were trying to attack him and others were cheering them on," explained Shields. "No one helped, no one had the balls to step in, so my reaction was to run in and start picking people off."
"More chaos started happening, so I went up to the police and tried bringing them back, but they were just like 'we're not really going over there. You should just stay away.'" He continued, "I don't know if they were taking orders from someone or if they were just being lazy. I don't know what the situation was, but it was pathetic to watch. Our police, who are supposed to defend the citizens of Berkeley. It's a sad scene that they would allow that."
Comment: When is the last time any police force in the US attempted to de-escalate a situation?

In court documents filed on Tuesday, the US Army Corps of Engineers announced it would grant the final permit for the Dakota Access Pipeline, and cancel any further environmental impact study (EIS) that would allow the pipe to be laid beneath Lake Oahe.
"Today's announcement will allow for the final step, which is granting of the easement," Robert Speer, Acting Secretary of the Army, announced in a press release. "Once that it done, we will have completed all the tasks in the Presidential Memorandum of January 24, 2017,"
