India: Mumbai Woman Beheaded in Gory Tantrik Ritual

[Rashid Mahmood]

A 50-year-old Indian woman has been killed in a human sacrifice ritual by six people, including a tantrik, in Nalasopara, a suburb of India's commercial capital, Mumbai.

All six men have been arrested a day after the western Indian state assembly of Maharashtra passed an anti-superstition bill.

The woman, who was killed as a sacrifice, was identified as Kalavati Gupta when her son recognised her headless body in photographs.

According to The Times of India (TOI), Kalavati regularly visited Sarvajeet Kahar, who works as a technician in Air India's transport department and practised black magic at home. She was seeing Kahar for a cure for her 30-year-old paralysed son.

Kalavati's neighbour Ramdhani Yadav (33) and his brother Gulab (28), were also visiting the tantrik and were advised by him to perform a human sacrifice for health, wealth and prosperity.

The police said that the tantrik first asked for an animal sacrifice but later stressed on a human one.

"He (Kahar), however, emphasised that human sacrifice was supreme. That is when the Yadav brothers thought of sacrificing Kalavati," Thane's rural additional superintendent of police Sangramsinh Nishandar told TOI.

Gulab and Yadav, who is an auto-rickshaw owner, also included an auto driver, Shyamsunder Gupta (42), in their plan for killing Kalavati.

They lured her to a prayer session and took her to a secluded area in Nalasopara in the night. There, the trio were accompanied by the tantrik, his son Pankaj (22) and cousin Satyanarayan Gaud (48).

According to the police, auto driver Gupta first slashed Kalavati with a knife when she bent down for worship; the others followed to help him behead her.

Kahar has admitted to his crime and revealed that he has carried out another human sacrifice in the past. He also said that his father too practised black magic.

All the accused have been taken in custody for murder, destroying evidence and also booked under the sections of the anti-superstition bill.

Because of the motive behind such crimes. If Religious Terrorism finds a special mention, so must incidents like these.

Tantriks n Godman like Asha Ram r no good but don't know when will we understand this basic rule...

I think it's about time India got rid of its pagan religion... well, whatever's left of it anyway and joins the civilised world.

All religions are piece of crap fairy tales which fools tend to beleive

Gotta thank the Middle Easterners and Europeans for getting rid of all the ancient rituals like sati daho etc. in this region.

This is a cold blooded murder and have motivation like other murders any where in world. It maybe important to know the motivation to work towards eradication of root cause but it's still a murder.

So are instances of Terrorism, don't you think? (They're all charged under Murder/attemp to murder during prosecution at least.)

This is yet another incidence of superstitious belief getting the better of reasoning faculties. It's good that such instances are highlighted and, as you said, the root cause eradicated.

Middle Easterners are still slaughtering each other based on religious sects, etc. Europeans are done with that phase a while ago.
