Human sacrifice in MP: Man kills youth as 'offering' to goddess for birth of son

A man allegedly killed a youth to offer him to goddess as a human sacrifice after a birth of a male child in Rewa district, said police.

According to Hindustan Times, police officials arrested Ramlal (32), a resident of Bedhoa village of the district for killing Divyansh Kol (19), a resident of Keoti.

Ramlal has three daughters and had wanted a son.

According to Hindustan Times, he had offered prayers to the village’s goddess and swore that if his wife gives birth to a son, he will sacrifice a youth.

Ramlal spotted Divyansh, who was grazing his goats. He asked Divyansh to help him in the Devi temple of the village, where Ramlal hacked him to death and left the body in place.

“Last month, his wife gave birth to a male child and he was looking for a youth to sacrifice. On July 6, he spotted Divyansh, who was grazing his goats. Ramlal called Divyansh for help and asked him to come with Ramlal to Devi temple in the village. Ramlal hacked him to death and left the body in the temple,” said Naveen Tiwari, sub-divisional officer of police, Sirmaur, Rewa.

According to Mirror Now, police recovered the body on 6 July and launched an investigation. The officials later found out that Divyansh was last seen with Ramlal.
