Healer or Hoax: Baskar

‘Healer’ Baskar was arrested after he advertised a one-day training camp for pregnant women to give birth at home without doctor visits, medicines and other treatment. The organisers claimed that it was a free one-day counselling session, where pregnant women will be taught how to give birth safely in their homes without medicines, vaccines, blood tests, doctor visits or scans.
