Prosecutors said evangelical pastor Juan Gregorio Rocha Romero and four other people had been arrested.
The Assemblies of God, the church to which Rocha reportedly belonged, issued a statement denying that Rocha Romero was one of its leaders.
A 25-year-old woman died Tuesday after she was thrown into a fire to drive "demons" from her body, Nicaraguan authorities said, quoting witnesses as saying she was stripped naked, burned and thrown into a gully.
Rocha Romero denied wrongdoing, telling the newspaper La Prensa that the woman fell into the fire without anyone pushing her and a demon exited her body.
Officials said the woman, Vilma Trujillo Garcia, suffered burns over 80 percent of her body.
