As per reports, Rajendra Kumar, self-proclaimed tantrik from Bilaspur, persuaded all three men to participate in rituals. He claimed that their Rs 5 lakh will be converted into 2.5 crore via black magic practice.
Police have arrested four to five suspects including the alleged tantrik.
A senior police officer said the initial probe suggested strangulation was the reason as the family member also spotted injury marks on the body.
However, Korba CSP said after inspecting the bodies of victims, initial signs pointed towards poisoning.
