Monday, 29 September 2014 | PNS | BALANGIR | in Bhubaneswar
In yet another superstition-driven inhuman
act, a seven-year-old male child was sacrificed in Jhalapadar village under the
Bangomunda police station in Balangir district on Friday.
This was revealed by accused Bankanidhi Behera of Chuliphunka
village who along with one Rishikesh Das, a suspected sorcerer, was arrested
and court-forwarded on Sunday.The police have also detained two other persons
in connection with the murder.Sources said Bankanidhi on Saturday evening lured
Dasarath Parabhue (7) to catch a hen and took away him while he was playing on
the village road. He was advised by a sorcerer to offer a child to a Goddess so
that he would not suffer illness further. Accordingly, Bankanidhi took the
child and killed him.
Dasarath was found dead on a village pond with his tounge cut on
Saturday morning. Bankanidhi is stated to have confessed this to the police
during interrogation. The two detainees have been identified as Chandan Das and
Lingaraj Das.“Two have been arrested and two others are being interrogated in
the case. Further investigation is on,” SP Deepak Kumar told our
correspondent.
