In the viral video, Abhishek can be heard talking about Mayong village in Morigaon district of Assam. Abhishek says, “There is a village in Assam. The girls there have achieved so much success that they have the power to transform you into a human being and convert you into a goat or any other animal and at night they turn you back into a human being and have sex with you. Why? Because lots of Tantrik practices, whose roots run from here.”
