The same evening, the child's corpse was discovered in the field, and it appeared that someone had cut the child's throat.
Digital Desk: Police said on Sunday that they had arrested three people in connection with the death of a 10-year-old boy, whom they said was sacrificed after an occultist asked them to do so.
Vivek Verma, the son of Parsa village resident Krishna Verma, was reported missing on Thursday night, according to Superintendent of Police Prashant Verma.
According to him, the child's corpse was discovered in the field the same evening, and it appeared that someone had cut the child's throat.
The investigation revealed that the deceased child's cousin Anoop had a two-and-a-half-year-old child who was both intellectually retarded and chronically ill. Anoop allegedly sought out an occultist in a nearby hamlet after conventional medicine failed to help him.
According to police, Anoop and Vivek's uncle Chintaram killed the child with a shovel after being urged by the occultist to engage in human sacrifice.
It is to be noted that Anoop, Chintaram, and the occultist were all detained on Saturday as part of the investigation, police informed.
