The parents alleged that the relatives tried to kill their son who have 12 fingers and toes after a tantrik advised them to sacrifice a child with a disorder to become wealthy.
Barabanki, Sep 2: Parents of a boy who has 12 fingers and toes have filed a complaint against their relatives for allegedly trying to kill their son as a ritual to get rich. The parents, resident of Uttar Pradesh's Barabanki, alleged that the relatives tried to kill their son who has 12 fingers and toes after a tantrik advised them to sacrifice a child with a disorder to become wealthy. Since his life is in danger, we stopped sending him to school and appraoched police for help, the father said.
"We have received a complaint. I will conduct a fair investigation into it, and won't let him stay deprived of education. He is financially weak so his educational expenses will be incurred by me till I am posted here," Circle Officer Umashankar Singh told news agency ANI. There have been several incidents of killings in the name of black magic and religious ritual in different parts of the country. Black Magic Claims a 2-Year-Old Boy's Life; Neighbours Sacrificed Minor for Hidden Treasure in Khandala Village.
In June, a married couple in Uttar Pradesh's Moradabad allegedly strangled their six-year-old malnourished daughter to death on a tantrik's advice for a healthy child. They also burried the child inside the house. The shocking incident came to light when the couple’s neighbours complained to the police. In Kerala's Thodupuzha, a person, trained in black magic, killed four members of a family to take back his 'powers'.
Ten of the 11 members of the Bhatia family were found hanging from an iron-mesh in the ceiling in Burari on July 1, while the body of 77-year-old Narayan Devi was lying on the floor in another room of the house. The family was not expecting to die and thought that "the earth will shake" and "there will be thunder in the sky", following which they will be saved.
