Class 2 Boy Killed in Human Sacrifice for UP School’s Prosperity; Principal Among 5 Arrested in Hathras

In an alarming event in the Hathras district of Uttar Pradesh, an 11-year-old boy named Kritarth was reportedly murdered in a ritualistic human sacrifice. Authorities say this took place at DL Public School, where he was a second-grade student, and its owner believed occult ceremonies could bring wealth and good fortune.

On September 23, Jasdhan Singh, along with his son Dinesh Baghel (the school’s principal), as well as three other staff members, allegedly snatched the child from school premises before taking him to nearby fields for what they thought would be a Tantrik ritual. But when Kritarth woke up and started crying midway through, strangulated him instead; all five men have been arrested on charges including murder by local police, who dubbed their crime “savage.”.

It was disclosed by authorities that the accused had attempted to pull one over on the parents of Kritarth, saying that he needed to be brought to the hospital because of an illness. However, the family grew suspicious during the car ride and ended up finding out something horrible: their son had died.

They promptly contacted the police. In connection with this crime, five people have now been taken into custody by Uttar Pradesh authorities; among them are Jasodhan Singh (who happens to own the school), his son Dinesh Baghel, principal Laxman Singh, as well as both teachers Veerpal Singh and Ramprakash Solanki.

All five individuals will face charges under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita’s Section 103(1). This instance isn’t the only recent case from Uttar Pradesh making headlines for all the wrong reasons: there was also the shocking story involving a mother along her daughter who were arrested back in May at Muzaffarnagar after allegedly being advised by a tantric mystic to sacrifice two youngsters aged seven plus four in order to remove a ghostly spirit that haunted the latter.
