Killed: Kanya Devi, 40, was murdered by her family who believed she was a 'witch'
An Indian woman has allegedly been tortured to death by members of her own family - including two teenage girls - because they believed her to be a 'witch'.

Kanya Devi, 40, was subjected to horrific abuse, which is said to have included her being stripped off her clothes, forced to eat faeces and burned on a firepit, before having her eyes gouged out with burning embers and a hot rod.

Ms Devi, a widow from the village of Kadera, Ajmer District, Rajasthan State, Northern India, died from her injuries, with the accused family members then burning her body to hide evidence, local police say.

Five people, including Ms Devi's niece and nephew, have now been arrested in connection with her death.

However, police say they have a tough burden of evidence as her remains have already been cremated.


Ms Devi's 15-year-old son is said to have witnessed the attack, but was ordered not to report it to the police by a village elder.

The village elders had allegedly 'absolved' the perpetrators by forcing them to take a 'holy dip' in a nearby river and be on cow-feeding duty, but had threatened outraged members of Ms Devi's family with social boycott if they reported the matter to police.

Horrifying: Her killers are said to have stripped off her clothes, forced her to eat faeces and burned her on a firepit, before having her eyes gouged out with burning embers and a hot rod
The matter came to police attention when Mahadev Regar, a relative and local activist, went to the funeral, and called police when he learned how Ms Devi had died.

A police spokesman said: 'On August 8, Mahadev lodged a complaint but we were waiting for a complaint by a close relative. After her 23-year-old daughter Maya Devi submitted a complaint, we lodged a report on Sunday.'

Police superintendent Rajendra Singh said: 'She was badly tortured. The accused have admitted to forcing her to eat faeces, lashing and burning her.

Arrested: Police say that while the accused claim they were rightfully ridding the community of a 'witch' their true reason was so they could get their hands on Ms Devi's property
'Five of the six accused, booked for murder and under relevant sections of the Rajasthan Prevention of Witch Hunting Act, have been arrested.'

The accused have been named by officers and include Kanya's niece Pinky, her nephew Mahaveer and neighbour Sonia.

An activist in the area, Tara Ahluwalia said: 'They claimed that they were asked to beat Kanya as she was a witch. But the real reason was property.

'Kanya's husband recently passed away and since her son is a minor, her husband's relatives conspired to get rid of her and grab her land.'

The accused have been arrested on suspicion of murder, causing the disappearance of evidence, two charges of witch hunting and causing the unnatural death of a woman

Benighted, lack of education. Many folk customs are anti human.

Yep, we forgive the perpetrators.

How long are you going to use this excuse now?


Spare me your crocodile tears.
You come from a society where a rich dude can pay off relatives of the victim in the name of blood money.

Who are you exactly to forgive the perpetrators ?

Every human being deserves some basical education. It shouldn't be a excuse.

you think education will prevent this

Ms Devi is a widow and was burned alive. Doesn't this incident simply represent the longstanding Hindu tradition of Sati?
Sati is almost no existent now haven't heard any incident recently. I am amazed that you know about it.
Here is a link that throws more light on Sati and why it began.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sati_(practice)
An wikipedia link wont help him .
WIKIPEDIA is banned in 21st century China as the latest Super power of the world is shit scared of Wikipedia , Google , YouTube etc

We should not abuse the whole country or nation because in return they'll abuse our sacred land. Every nation has its worth and respect. We shouldn't relate random events to disrespect others lands because it's ridiculous. Even our Religion Islam condemns it, that's don't abuse their Lords, because in return they'll abuse your lord, that would be blasphemous.

Pakistanis and Indians, especially youth have to show some literacy. Don't be fools. Condemn the incident. Condemns everything which is bad and happening anywhere but don't blame the locals at national level because shameful incidents happens at both places. Stop this hatred game for heaven sake.

Mister.... In Sati practice, wife was burnt along with husband's body in funeral pyre. Her husband died long time back. It is a case of relatives killing her for the sake of her property and giving it the name of witch hunting.

All these criminals need to be hanged for their crimes...along with so called village elders who allowed this to happen.
