&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Most victims of such superstitious practices were targeted for &amp;ldquo;causing health issues or crop failure&amp;rdquo;. Around 27 per cent cases were triggered by health issues in children, 43.5 per cent by health issues of an adult family member, 24.5 per cent by misfortune or land grabbing and 5 per cent due to crop failure, according to the study.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Witch Hunting in Odisha was jointly released by the Odisha State Commission for Women and Action Aid, an international non-governmental organisation, December 20, 2021. The findings were based on 102 case studies of victims of witch hunting and witch branding collected by Action Aid from all over the state.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The archaic and brutal practice of witch hunting and witch branding is mostly prevalent in 12 states of India &amp;mdash; Jharkhand, Bihar, West Bengal, Odisha, Haryana, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Assam, Chhattisgarh and Maharashtra.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The number of killings as a part of this malpractice is the second-highest in Odisha, after Jharkhand, according to the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB).&lt;/p&gt;

Witch hunting: 83% of Odisha's cases in six districts, says report -Priya Ranjan Sahu

-Down to Earth Most of the victims were targeted for “causing health issues or crop failure” Witch-hunts are still highly prevalent in 12 of Odisha’s 30 districts — especially Mayurbhanj, Keonjhar, Sundargarh, Malkangiri, Gajapati and Ganjam — a new report has claimed. Most victims of such superstitious practices were targeted for “causing health issues or crop failure”. Around 27 per cent cases were triggered by health issues in children, 43.5 per cent by health issues of an adult family member, 24.5 per cent by misfortune or land grabbing and 5 per cent due to crop failure, according to the study. Witch Hunting in Odisha was jointly released by the Odisha State Commission for Women and Action Aid, an international non-governmental organisation, December 20, 2021. The findings were based on 102 case studies of victims of witch hunting and witch branding collected by Action Aid from all over the state.  The archaic and brutal practice of witch hunting and witch branding is mostly prevalent in 12 states of India — Jharkhand, Bihar, West Bengal, Odisha, Haryana, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Assam, Chhattisgarh and Maharashtra.  The number of killings as a part of this malpractice is the second-highest in Odisha, after Jharkhand, according to the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB).
