In a suspected case of child sacrifice, five children of a family were killed in a village in Hingoli district and four persons, including three women, have been arrested in this connection.

The boys, aged between 4-12, belong to a family in Digras village in Maharashtra and were killed between December 2009 and March 2010, police said.

The killings came to light recently following which police registered a case of murder against six suspects and arrested four persons on Wednesday after conducting searches at their residence, Police Inspector M A Rauf said.

The four accused identified as Parshuram Dalvi, Kalvati Kundlik Mokle, her husband Kundlik Mokle, Aasha J Dalvi, Vandana Mokle and her husband Vithal Mokle have now been remanded to police custody till March 22.

The accused landed in police net after Vandana allegedly tried to sacrifice one more child--Rishikesh Dalvi-- early this month, at the behest of a local self-styled godman, who is absconding, Rauf said.

Vandana, who is childless was also allegedly preparing to sacrifice 11 children to fulfil her wish to become a mother, sources said.

Police also recovered material like ash, black thread, unknown poisonous substances and some herbs during the search, he said.

Investigators got a breakthrough when Rishikesh complained of the same health problems, detected in the five deceased children, who were allegedly fed some poisonous herbs, before conducting the ritual, sources said.

According to doctors treating Rishikesh, the boy also showed effects of same poison, derived from some herb.

Rauf said police is trying to rope in a few ayurvedic experts to identify these herbs, which could not be identified in the autopsy.

Meanwhile, the viscera of three victims, preserved for chemical tests, would be sent to Mumbai for futher analysis, he said adding interrogation of the accused are on.

I have shouted hoarse on QL that when a Child disappears/kidnapped (anywhere in the world)...he is usually sacrificed to some pagan god.

Too many of them around. Instead of looking at the horrendous deed look at the causes and the reasons it could have happened.

Some of such could happen if the child is kidnapped and mudered. Most are done by parents or family members Mothers killing or sacrificing thier own children??? Which parent would watch thier own being murdered and parts of the body used for some rite or the other?

It is poverty, desperation and desolation. That is why we have so many godmen tantriks and shamans thriving in India. Because they sell hope and dreams..

In the above article it is also about a woman wanting a child planning to do it. But other cases there must have been family involved. What forces them to do such acts??

Cops---considerate?? most likely paid off by the father of the boy. Considering that the cops have been shown in a humane manner I dont think punishment will be harsh,,if at all. Shows they have been taken care of. Arresting fine-- bail out now I guess

MUMBAI: The Dharavi police recently arrested a 15-year-old boy for allegedly molesting his neighbour’s minor daughter. Considering that the victim was appearing for his SSC exams, the men in khaki waited for six days before arresting him. The cops delayed the arrest as they didn’t want to ruin the minor offender’s career.

According to the police, the accused was arrested on March 17 as soon as he came out of the examination centre in Dharavi after appearing for his final paper. The accused and the victim reside in the same building on Bandra-Sion Link Road in Dharavi. The boy, who hails from a middle-class family, has been sent to Dongri remand home.

The matter came to light when the victim’s parents found her crying on ground floor of the building. The victim’s father, in his complaint, said, “She told us that the boy took her to a small gap beneath the staircase and molested her.”

“Soon after the complaint was lodged, we went to the boy’s house to nab him, but decided to wait for a week so that he could appear for his exams,” said senior inspector Hemant Patil. The boy has reportedly confessed to his crime.

Bottom line – if you’re going to have outdoor sex, stay away from the edge of the roof!
