In a horrific incident, an aunt in Kailawada Kalan village (Khatauli), Muzaffarnagar district, has been arrested for allegedly killing her two nephews based on an exorcist's advice.
The victims, 4-year-old Lucky and 7-year-old Keshav Saini, were reportedly murdered by their own aunt Ankita over a span of six weeks. Ankita reportedly believed she was possessed by another soul and that sacrificing the children would expel it.
Ankita And Her Mother Arrested by UP Police
The murders took place in April and May of this year. Ankita's motive came to light after the second murder when she left a bundle containing rice, lentils and a letter claiming the soul had finally found peace. The handwriting on the letter led authorities to Ankita.
Ankita and her mother have been arrested. Police are currently searching for the tantrik who advised the killings.
