Get rich - don't spend money on food.

Patna authorities are looking for a part-time fakir who apparently hypnotised a man to starve his three children to death.

It is a strange case. The media reported starvation deaths. These looked like starvation deaths, but when we looked for reasons we found that Illiyas had been under the spell of the 'fakir' for the last two months, who had advised him and his family members to forego food and remain alive on water if they wanted prosperity.

He kept his family without food, and praying, for two months. Father starves three children to death - Times of India, November 14th 2002.
