Indian family arrested over child sacrifice

[Areesh]

RAIPUR: Indian police said Wednesday they had arrested a witchdoctor and his family over the alleged sacrifice of a two-year-old boy in an impoverished tribal area.

The parents of the child alerted police on Tuesday after he went missing while playing on the street in the Durg district of the central state of Chhattisgarh, about 45 kilometres (30 miles) from state capital Raipur.
“The witchdoctor, his wife and three children were arrested yesterday after the bloodied body of the child was recovered from their worship place along with the knife used for the crime,” district police chief Amit Kumar told AFP.

Kumar added the accused man had said blood stains at his home were the result of him slaughtering a goat. But the police checked the house and found the body of the child covered with a cloth.


In April, in the last widely publicised case of suspected human sacrifice in India, a decapitated body of a factory worker was found in a temple in the eastern state of West Bengal.
Human sacrifices occasionally make headlines in deeply religious and superstitious India, and usually occur in poor rural areas where some people revere practitioners of black magic.

In March, a married couple in rural western India were arrested for allegedly killing five young boys because a mystic told them it would help the woman conceive.

Chhattisgarh is one of India’s most impoverished states and large swathes of it are controlled by Maoists, which recruit largely from local tribes. -- AFP

India at large will remain a slum of backward improvised people for next several centuries. The government should spend the money there rather buying javelins and f18 to conquer Pakistan!

PS: Sorry if anybody is offended here, not disrespecting the Goddess in any sense but the followers...this is just insane.... sacrificing your human child to please a God? What kind of God can he be

Do you do anything else except trolling on here ? Please stop coming to mindless conclusions about India because many people can also come up with many predictions about Pakistan as well. Defense spending has nothing to do with poverty, India's economy is a big enough to give support to both unlike Pakistan's.

This is a blind and crazy belief. I share a state with Gurkhas who are the most ardent devotees of Goddess Kali in entire world; they do nothing of the sort.

These idiots are similar to the ignorance of what your radical tribesmen in FATA are about overly hardline and crazy interpretations. If I were the chief decision maker of that area, I would order the family and that bloody F****** witch of a doctor to be sent to the firing squad.

The more appropriate question would be - What kind of people do that? What kind of humans follow such traditions?

This is indeed insane. Stupid tribals and many of their stupid inhuman customs! No wonder, when the govt wants to educate these tribals, the Maoists step in offering to save their traditions against the capitalist govt and higher castes!

What is important? Preserving such inhuman traditions or trying to educate them? Take note Ms Suzanne A Roy supporters!

Zaki being Indian I understand the Hindu religion very well, just as in Islam there are many sects that have their own rituals. What happened here is wrong and should be investigated but its not about Kali Mata. Child sacrifice was practiced in Islam as well, i can quote you many instances if you want. The main point here is that the blame should be put on the idiotic people not any religion or god.

 

[Karachiite]

India also has its share of fanatics just like the Pakistani over religious extremists. The subcontinent really is backwards compared to the rest of the world.

btw why do Pakistanis and Indians get so excited and happy when something bad happens in the other country?

 

[gubbi]

Save your raging stupidity for OT and Humor topics. This is indeed a serious issue here. And dont bring in "beautiful and peaceful Pakistan" in here. One: Off topic, Two: Such incidents are common in your country too, infact more common at that. So knock it off.

 

[ajtr]

one word........ignorance about religion
