In the footage, the aged man can be seen doing his “magic” while trying to revive the girl as he was surrounded by gun-wielding security operatives and other bystanders. The girl who was later revived after some minutes – woke up with a loud scream before she was taken away by those around and the alleged ritualist taken into custody.
