Gulbarga: 15-month-old girl sacrificed to unearth hidden treasure


Gulbarga, Jun 8 (PTI): A 15-month old girl was recently sacrificed with a desire to unearth hidden treasure at the nearby Firozabad fort, and seven persons including her father have been arrested in connection with the crime, a top police official today said.

"Seven persons have been arrested in connection with the case, father of the girl is one among them, they are said to have committed the crime with a desire to unearth treasure in the fort, about 34 km from here, but did not find anything", Gulbarga SP Amit Singh told PTI.

He said, "The girl's father appeared to be innocent initially, but his involvement was established during the course of investigation, so he has also been arrested."

Girl's father is a Pesh Imam at Firozabad mosque and hails from Bihar, he added.

The complaint regarding the missing child was registered on May 22, but her mutilated body was found near her house on May 26.

Meanwhile, one of the seven men allegedly involved in the crime died in police custody, following which five police officials including an inspector and two sub-inspectors have been suspended, he said.

The probe regarding death in custody has been handed over to the Criminal Investigation Department.

Officials said they are awaiting the postmortem report on the death that happened in custody, adding, there were no external injuries on the body.

    100% CORRECT... Y NOT IN INDIA? SUCH PUNISHMENTS ONLY CAN CONTROL CRIMES IN ANY LAND.
    NO MERCY FOR REAL CULPRIT...
    NO MERCY FOR CRIME TO PEOPLE..
    PUNISH THEM IN PUBLIC AS SOON AS CRIME IS PROVED AND EXPOSE TO SOCIETY WHATS THE VALUE OF EVERY SOUL..

    Being a parent we are sleepless even if our children are sick for few days then how come this coward offers his child for sacrifice? One or two straightaway encounters on the spot and then you see these cruel acts will vanish from our Society forever!

    The main reason behind this is lack of education. Govt must allot funds to run educational institutions rather than funding Hugh amount to Temples ,Masjids or Churches.

    This is an inhuman act prompted by selfishness. Killing any one is an unpardonable crime but kill one's own child is a crime which cannot be overlooked. The hand of JUSTICE should come down heavily on the person or persons responsible for this heinous act.

    India is a land mired with various dogmas, myths, occult, black magic, spontaneous miracles, rituals practiced not only by the poor and uneducated, but even by the educated and rich!! The most heinous being "Narbali" which is mostly practiced in the rural parts of the country where such activities thrive due to ignorance and poverty exploited by self styled Godmen!!!

    Reminds of the sensational multiple mass human sacrifice case in Manwat on which even a world acclaimed Marathi film was made named "Akriet"!!!

    Behead the Idiot. No treasure or wealth is precious than our own offspring(especially girls). Children are gift of God. I condemn the horrible act and request with the govt hang him ASAP.

    My God,Iam just speechless and disturbed reading this.why should this happen in our Country even in this Age ,that too from own father.A hidden treasure is important than earthly treasure of having a child?or because it is a female?And in jail the died inmate is surely the one important witness must be.The father should really shame for his act .horrible.poor Baby has hardly breathed her first breath was time to breath her last in the Hands of father?who knows how many have to go through this route?Hope not.may her Soul be with angels in a better world.
