More than 50 women in the northern Indian states of Haryana and Rajasthan have reported that mysterious persons have been chopping off their hair while they were unconscious.
Police are struggling to solve the mystery, leaving women paranoid and worried.
Sunita Devi told BBC that there was a strong flash of light that left her unconscious and an hour later, she found that her hair had also been chopped off.
She said the "attack" has left her traumatised.
Reports of "phantom barbers" first emerged in early July from Rajasthan, but a spate of similar incidents are being reported from Haryana and even the capital, Delhi.
She says her attacker was an elderly man "dressed in bright‑coloured clothes".
