In a bizarre case, a man, under the influence of a tantrik, sacrificed his toddler daughter in the hope of brightening his future, in Muzaffarnagar on Sunday.
However, the man’s wife informed the police about the murder after which he was arrested and put behind the bars.
As per reports, Wajid of Sikanderpur area used to work as a labourer in a brick kiln and had five children. On Sunday, he suddenly strangled his 30-month -old daughter and slashed her neck with a spade. He later buried the body in a nearby field.
However, the man’s wife came to know about the gruesome act of her husband after Wajid told her about the ‘sacrifice’. The shocked wife immediately approached the nearest police station and intimated the cops about the incident after which Wajid was taken into custody.
During interrogation, Wajid told the police that he had been worried over his financial condition for the last few months and hence he contacted a tantrik. He said that the tantrik told him to make a ‘human sacrifice’ to better his condition and so he killed his daughter.
A case registered, the girl’s body was exhumed and sent for autopsy.
