BBC News report about the ritual sacrifice of a boy in India

There was a chilling report on the BBC News at 10 about Utter Pradesh in India.

Apparently some woman went to a priest of the goddess Kali Ma and was advised to sacrifice a boy to appease the goddess. The woman then kidnapped a small boy and killed him cruelly and slowly.

The boys granmother told the reporter that first the woman cut out his tongue, then cut off his nose, then cut off his ears, then cut off his fingers... she couldnt go on after that and just said he died a slow excruciating death!!

It sounds like something out of an Indiana Jones movie only this real life version is far more gruesome.

The BBC reporter said that the Indian prison authorities told them people were in prison for over 200 similar cases.

I didnt think things like this were still going on!

course it does.. kept on the down low.

that's disgusting

Oh my God, someone can be so sick

thats nasty and inhuman... not surprised though

Human mind is pretty messed up. Everywhere.

at least some go to jail

we have so many horrific abuses in pakistan and the perpetrators are never punished; and they always use religion to justify their actions

black magic, i hear, is a massive problem in Pakistan

Not entirely true, it's more of a problem in India.....

it is still an issue mian

must be bad to live in the fear of black magic let alone suffer it

I agree, I was just placing some context with your comment, and also it is much more predominant in India....I know this from experience and also talking to my Dad who has seen it first hand of the culture of Indians who are much more superstitious.....

Black magic is a different topic altogether I think.

As regards to violent taboo, we have a lot of it in Pakistan as well. Violence against women is not unheard of. There was a documentary I watched a while back on the Discovery Channel (or was it National Geographic?) where they looked into "honour killings" in Pakistan.

It was graphically and emotionally very distressing to say the least.

what is this hannibal, or the silence of the lamb? sick stuff, pathetic

Black magic is prevalent in Bangladesh more than India and Pakistan.

Though it is an issue in Pakistan as well (black magic). **** Jadu sounds better though.

**** Jadu.

some people believe this **** jadoo stuff more than islam
they get more scared by someone who says they will do **** jadoo against them - than they do from Allah

Man, this just makes me sick

As far as black magic goes, its actually an issue right across the subcontinent

Cant believe someone can be so sick, black magic is a problem in India, its a big issue in the poor areas.

Disgusting and utterly vile.

Religions from ancient times such as those of the Persians and the Carthaginians used to offer sacrifices in the form of humans to their gods.

Black Magic?

I'd much rather take my chances as the victim of a voodoo doll, a kali zubaan or a nazr as opposed to taking part in a human sacrifice!!

How did this Kali thing advise her?
Its these Hindus and there illusioned brains, thry int have a clue whats going on
I remmeber when they thought in the uk that there statues actually drank the milk they gave to them. ehehehhehehehe

I watched that on the news last night and was frankly disgusted. What made this even sicker was how the "holy man" who was allegedly behind the "advice" given was trying to avoid the questioning of the BBC reporter.

You would think that such Jahil acts would cease to exist in the 21st century but clearly not. Doesnt matter where it is, its disturbing regardless
