Child sacrificed, liver offered to gods in India
*RAIPUR - A seven-year-old Indian girl was murdered in a tribal sacrifice and her liver offered to the gods to improve crop growth, police in the central state of Chhattisgarh said on Sunday.
The body of Lalita Tati was found in October one week after her family reported her missing.
“A seven-year-old girl was sacrificed by two persons superstitiously believing that the act would give a better harvest,” Narayan Das, the police chief of Bijapur district, told AFP by telephone.
The two men was arrested on Wednesday on suspicion of killing the girl and offering her liver to the gods in a grisly tribal ceremony. Police said the men had confessed to the crime.
The girl was murdered in a jungle district of Chhattisgarh that is a stronghold of rebel Maoists who have tapped into disaffection among local tribal groups.
Human sacrifices occasionally make headlines in deeply religious and superstitious India, and usually occur in poor areas where some people revere practitioners of black magic.
Two suspected child sacrifices were reported in Chhattisgarh in 2010, while in the same year the decapitated body of a factory worker was found in a temple in the eastern state of West Bengal.
The victims are often ritually killed by witchdoctors to appease gods, spirits or deities.

Without soundig crass here,
Have we not enough problems in Pakistan with Banda Farosh and such like? Plus we had all sorts of loonies in our land too… I do hazar Thoubah to think there are such jahils around today.
However before we start bashing others we should first make our own homeland fit to the way of the people and dispell the darkness in our back yards… after that by all means I shall be the first to take my sword to Hindustan and spread the light…
Pehlay apne mulk ko sambalh ne do, bakee baad main teek kardeingay.
Waissay humour aside I’m sure India is not full or complete monsters some of them are just like us and in time Insha Allah they too will find the right path.
Until then we can only pray that such goons are locked up or cast out of society and placed where they can do no harm to people…

People traffickers, Slavers etc...
Basically our nation has this terrible hidden problem where people especially young children can be snatched and sometimes even sold for horrible things... be it sex trade, slave trade and Allah forbid there is even an active trade where children are cut up and body parts are sold as various items... This happens not just in Pakistan but across the developing world and we should take action against it.
