THE art of practising black magic in TT has become the subject of a police and immigration investigation, the suspects being nationals from India.
In July last year, Newsday published a story about a woman falling victim to the scam, having paid money to predict the outcome of her love life.
Scores of people had complained to Newsday about being fleeced and, in some cases, sexually harassed by charlatans from India who had set up shops on High Street, San Fernando and along the Southern Main Road, Chaguanas.
The suspects held are from south India and, according to a police report, they told police that they are spiritualists. On Monday, they were taken to the Immigration office, San Fernando, where officers discovered that they had been staying in TT illegally.
