A man who reported his 6-year-old daughter as missing some days ago was allegedly found to have scarified her for sorcery in Koraput district of Odisha. This horrific incident took place in Taupadar village of Pottangi block of Koraput district.
The accused has been identified as Banguru Pangi and his accomplice is identified as Shyama Sundara Biswal.
Report says, Banguru complains at Tangi police station on November 24 claiming that his daughter went missing since November 21.
After the case was registered, police started an investigation into the case and found Banguru’s statement suspicious. During police interrogation, Banguru admitted to his crimes and revealed that he killed his daughter in a fit of anger.
Bangaru further claimed that his daughter died after getting his slap near her ear and so he buried her body in a sack near the Bhiarva temple to cover up the issue.
Based on his information, police exhumed the minor girl’s body and sent it to the hospital for postmortem.
Locals denied his statement and claimed that he killed his daughter as a sacrifice in sorcery and even his wife helped him in this process.
Locals alleged that in hope of being rich, Banguru was seen searching for old Hanuman Coin and that’s why he scarified his daughter. They further justified the claim saying that materials used to conduct puja were recovered near the area and vermillion was reportedly spotted on the girl’s head.
The man and his accomplice were arrested by the police and a investigation has been started in this regard.
