Girl sacrificed to appease god

The mutilated body of a seven-year-old girl who had gone missing two days ago has been found in Motihari district of Bihar, police said Sunday, adding that it looked like a case of human sacrifice. Two people, including a witch doctor, have been arrested.

A villager found the body of Gudia Saturday. She was a resident of Khagni village in Motihari and had gone missing two days ago.

The family alleged that the girl was sacrificed to appease a Hindu god.

“The girl’s throat was silt, her legs chopped off, her head was tonsured and there was a red mark on it. It looks like a clear cut case of human sacrifice,” a police officer said.

A police complaint has been filed and six people named as accused.
