Reported AFPOn Wednesday (10/12/2022), three people were arrested, one of whom claimed to be a practitioner of the occult. The three would have killed the two women as a sacrifice in the belief that they would become rich.
The dire incident began when a husband and wife, Bhagaval Singh and Laila, encountered financial difficulties.

Police spokesman Pramod Kumar said Bhagaval Singh and Laila were a couple from the southern state of Kerala. Both are said to have confessed that “human sacrifice is the way to great wealth”.
Shafi, who has been described as a pervert previously accused of rape, lured the first victim to Bhagaval Singh’s home in June under the guise of a role in a local film.
Investigators say Shafi then convinced the couple to take part in a second sacrifice in September after they complained that their fate had not changed.
“We were investigating the case of the first missing woman when we discovered that the location of the last cell phone of the (other) missing woman in September was also in the vicinity of the couple’s home,” Kumar said.
The two victims earned their living by selling lottery tickets door-to-door. Their mutilated bodies were buried in the couple’s home. Police are now investigating whether Shafi is involved in other cases as well.
Singh’s neighbor, Gopan K, revealed that the author was a traditional healer. He told the Hindustan Times that he said it was “hard for them to believe that Singh was part of the bloody murder.”
“In the past many people came here to treat fractures, bruises and other ailments. We never suspected anything suspicious and he was also polite,” Gopan K told the newspaper.
Experts say they trust Magic and the occult is still prevalent in many tribal and remote areas of India, where occasional incidents of human sacrifice have been reported. Earlier this month, two men were arrested on suspicion of killing a six-year-old boy in the capital New Delhi.
Construction workers told police they were under the influence of marijuana and killed the boy as a sacrifice to the Hindu god Shiva to get rich.
