New Delhi. A neighbor from the Preet Vihar area of Delhi killed a three-year-old child by slitting his throat. The incident was revealed after the arrest of the accused minor neighbor. In this case, it is suspected that the accused has sacrificed himself to complete a tantric ritual. On the indication of the accused, the body of the child has been recovered from Meerut in two parts.
The Delhi Police team got the post-mortem of the body done in Meerut on Tuesday. Here, after getting information about the murder of the child, his family members blocked Vikas Marg in the Preet Vihar area. The protesting people also pelted stones at the police who arrived to clear the jam. According to the police, the deceased child lived with his family in the slums of Chitra Vihar.
Apart from the parents, the family has two sisters aged seven and five years. The child’s father drives a rickshaw while the mother works as a house cleaner. In a complaint given to the police on November 30, the family members said that the child was playing outside the house with his sisters on the evening of November 30. After some time, a minor from the neighbourhood arrived and took the child with him on the pretext of getting him something. When the child’s sister saw the accused, she stopped her brother and asked the minor not to take him away. But the accused said that he would drop the child home after getting him something, and took him with him. When they were not given any information about the child’s body, the family started protesting.
While protesting, all the people came to Vikas Marg. When the police tried to remove the people, they started pelting stones. After interrogating the accused, the police team reached Nangli-Isa, Inchauli village of Meerut. The Meerut police first recovered the headless torso of the child. When the scope of the investigation was expanded, the police also found the head far away from the torso. Animals were scratching it. One hand was also missing from the body.
